Price increase
« on: November 11, 2011, 09:57:16 AM »
Just read over on gizmodo that China are introducing a 20% increase in the minimum wage.   I wonder will this cross over to Canon?  According to gizmodo, this will put a mark up of 20% on tech gear, could be scary  ::)

20% on top of next-to-nothing is still next-to-nothing

Most foreign companies already pay wages to employees (the legal employees) that far exceed local wage standards so there would be little or no effect.

The minimum wage component in the final price is miniscule. It should be dwarfed by other factors like currency exchange parity, Canon / Dealer margins etc.
