　　Adidas said Yue Yuen’s payments were “in accordance with an agreement which they had reached with the Dongguan authorities”. Yue Yuen has denied breaking any laws. Asked about deals with companies over payment levels, a Yue Yuen spokesman said it was a “prevalent practice”.

　　阿迪达斯表示，裕元集团的缴款“符合他们与东莞政府早前达成的一项协议”。裕元集团不承认自身违反了任何法律规定。在被问及政府与企业就缴款金额达成的协议时，一名裕元集团的发言人表示，这是一种“非常普遍的做法”。

　　“Yue Yuen has given local governments in the Pearl River Delta a real headache,” says Mr Zhang. “How do you solve the pension problem?”

　　张治儒称：“裕元集团让珠三角地区的地方政府感到非常头痛。你能如何解决养老金问题呢?”

　　The pension issue has not previously sparked as much unrest as that witnessed at Yue Yuen. One reason is workers are reluctant to contribute due to difficulties transferring pension when they move cities – a big problem given the fluid nature of the labour force.

　　养老金问题此前从未引发严重如裕元集团事件的动荡。一个原因是，工人不愿缴纳养老金，因为当他们去别的城市时，养老金的转移非常困难——考虑到劳动力高度流动的特点，这是一个大问题。

　　Zheng Bingwen, an adviser to the Chinese labour ministry, says in some cases when workers move, the government in their new district must fund the portion of the pension that could not be transferred, creating a reluctance to accept accounts.

　　中国人力资源和社会保障部的顾问郑秉文表示，在某些情况下，当工人跨地区流动时，流入地的政府必须为无法转移的那一部分养老金提供补贴，这使其不愿接受养老金账户转入。

　　Professor Mu Guangzong, of Peking University’s Institute of Population Research, says: “The social security system is fragmented. It’s like the Beijing metro system – lines are not well connected making transfers very difficult.”

　　北京大学(Peking University)人口研究所(Institute of Population Research)教授穆光宗表示：“目前社保系统是碎片化的。就好像北京的地铁系统一样，线路之间衔接得不好，使得换乘非常麻烦。”

　　Sitting in a café near Yue Yuen, one furniture factory worker in his early twenties says many young workers have not worried about pensions. “I don’t really care about the pension issue, as I’m really young. I won’t spend my whole life in a factory,” says the man.

　　在一家靠近裕元集团工厂的咖啡厅里，一位二十出头的家具厂工人表示，很多年轻工人并不为养老金而担心。“我不是很关心养老金问题，因为我真的很年轻。我不会一辈子都待在一间工厂里的。”
