A REAL sign of inflation...

China is experiencing REAL inflation, not the Sucrose laden artifical type we here in the US think we are experiencing.

The government is targeting inflation of 4.8% this year, the same as in 2007.The average wage in Chinese urban areas climbed 18.3% in the first quarter from a year earlier to 6524 yuan ($US935).

Notice the increase in wages. China is flooded with cash right now causing their money supply to grow exponentially. There is a real pickle brewing in the dislocation of money flows, inflation, interest rates and supply issues. This will cause political unrest between the major powers in the next year.
