Domestic pressure is driving China to introduce labor law changes that could drive some non-Chinese firms out of the country, a report said.

A bill introducing tough laws that prevent the exploitation of workers, including regulations that exceed even European standards, is heading for the Chinese People's Congress, even as industrial unrest and wage inflation threaten the economy, the Times of London reported Monday.

The proposed law would strengthen safety and workplace inspections, force employers to consult with workers' representatives over significant job cuts and tighten the enforcement of minimum wages that already apply in provinces. It may also reduce the maximum workweek and impose higher pay rates for overtime.
