While some companies might try to leave workers with slightly more than basic living expenses, most are expected to turn over nearly all of their employees&#8217; earnings to the authorities. This practice leaves workers with only minimal amounts for food and essential costs, as companies feel compelled to participate in this loyalty-driven contribution system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Opportunity for graft<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Officials at some trading companies pocket some of the cash taken from workers when the authorities issue cross-the-board orders for cash payments, calling their graft \u201ca task issued by Pyongyang.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is to say, trading companies that manage 500 workers amass a fortune of 1 million Chinese yuan if they collect 2,000 yuan per person, and some of those companies use the opportunity to embezzle a bit of the cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most North Korean workers in China responded to news of the contribution order by calling it \u201cexpected.\u201d However, they also suspect company officials are pocketing some of the cash given the decision to \u201cseize\u201d their entire salary except for minimal living expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt would have been fine if the authorities told the workers exactly how much they should pay to support flood recovery costs,&#8221; the source told The Daily NK. &#8220;However, they tell the workers to pay as much as they\u00a0 can without a set sum, so workers at the bottom just endure the burden without knowing how much they are actually paying for flood recovery.
