[edit]Description: China is doing a fast growth with opening the door, extending international trade and cooperation, and introducing a foreign fund and advanced technology. As China will grow like this speed, the Gap between the poor and rich is getting bigger. It already reached a dangerous level, and can trigger a social anxiety. Workers will go on a strike to improve their wage and well-being.

[edit]Enablers:

1)Extend organizations of unions.
2)Learn advanced union cultures due to increasing investment by foreign 
  companies.

[edit]Inhibitors:
