7/17/2010-- Hong Kong passed a minimum wage law
yesterday, a rare departure from the wealthy Chinese financial hub's

Hong Kong legislator and union organizer Lee Cheuk-yan called the vote a historic moment requiring the Hong Kong government to set a minimum wage for the first time in the city's history.
