Workers operate on a rubber glove assembly line at a factory in Zibo, Shandong Province May 28, 2012. China's industrial sector increasingly runs by machine, which might seem like the perfect answer to China's fast-rising labour costs - they don't ask for a raise, get injured or go on strike. According to Nomura, 28 percent of factory machines in China use numerical controls - one measure of automation. That may be far lower than Japan's 83 percent, but China is growing far faster than Japan did at a comparable stage of development, says Ge Wenjie, a machinery analyst with Nomura.
