The shits, runny shits, very runny shits, explosive shits, firecracker shits (or ring of fire), vomiting, hallucinations, bloating, sponsorship from toilet roll and plunger companies, wishing for death, will writing, itchiness in the upper colon, last rites, dramatic weight loss and a general feeling of discontent.

Made-in-China Syndrome

Made-in-China Syndrome occurs, when someone implies that your valuables are not much worth as you think by presuming that they were made in an economy using plenty of cheap labour, often out of envy, ignorance or piss-taking.

"Look at this ring! I got this at an auction website last week! That was a bargain as well!"
"T's have a look...Cheap sliver shine, innit? Probably hot stuff. Or a sweat shop fake..."
"Here we go again. You're going through another round of Made-in-China syndrome, David!"

China Syndrome

China Syndrome is when you connect to the Internet through a network that constantly tightens up its network policing policies, blocking more and more sites as time goes by. Named for the Chinese government's infamous crackdowns on forbidden sites.

"Man, this is bullshit. My network at work just started blocking 4chan!"
"That's the fifth site they've blocked this month! Sounds like your company's got a case of China Syndrome."

China Salary

A very low annual salary which when divided by the hours worked by an employee, calculates as equal to or less than minimum wage. Often used for non-management roles in salary-orientated business to make workers unaware that they are being paid minimum wage, or less than minimum wage.

The term is derived from the fact that many large companies send their manufacturing work over to China, to get extremely cheap labour.

Typically employed in workplaces where an "extra duties" or "extra hours" clause is present in employee's contracts, requiring them to work sporadic additional hours without additional pay.

Fairly common, but goes unnoticed when salaries are not increased over the years.

Worker 1: I don't know why Chris says the company doesn't appreciate him, he works really hard, how can they not be appreciating him?
Worker 2: Didn't you know? He's on a China Salary.
