- China's food delivery market has experienced explosive growth in recent years.
It was worth some 150 billion dollars in 2022 - larger than the economy of Morocco.
Critics however, say the gigantic sector is built on exploitation of the country's millions of delivery riders.
Authorities in February tightened regulations in a bid to step up protections.
CNA's East Asia Tonight takes a close look at China's food delivery workers and their struggles.

The bad thing about china delivery is that there is fine for being late. Singapore grabfood can relax relax send food , no stress.
Yeah, it’s so good for the consumers to pay crap amount of money just to wait forever
Yea no fine even if they are 2 hrs late delivering food ice cold. Or just straight out did not deliver. So damn good sia 😂
I AGREE
The reason why food delivery services in china is heavy aggressive completive. Is because of Employment model. In Western Countries and other parts of Asian
if you late is not a big deal you only lose bit of rating or marks.
Here in Indonesia (Jakarta) local people work so slow, including the delivery guys. When I went to China, I was so surprised to find how fast the delivery services there. Delivery guys in China take their job seriously, unlike ones in Indonesia. Sometimes I saw them running. Really amazing
With that attitude your life might as well be over at 35 lol. 35 is still young to make something of yourself, don't give up brodie.
In china only degree holder does this type of job😂
Its your choice if you want to be a delivery driver and the same for people who want to become a drug addict then no one can stop you well in USA, if you have the IQ and qualities to become a doctor then no one can stop you to become a doctor because everything is gained from your time put into the hard work.
I am from Singapore and felt extremely thankful to my ancestors for running away from that shithole
Is Singapore so much better. I see many over 75 years old men have to work in food courts.
Exploitation is a major economic problem for low-wage earners in the People's Republic of China.
How likes this kind of job? It's better than being drug addicts and homeless.
riders like them makes ordering food so cheap and available, but I feel sorry for them.
would be better if these jobs were taken by school/college graduates, but they can then go on to take on proper jobs.
meanwhile, these people are stuck in this manual job forever
Why pick on China?
and food delivery in your country not struggles? only in china?
lots of of College fresh graduated students can only earn less than 4000 RMB($570) in China, which is less than half of these riders income
I feel your pain. Don't give up 35 year old guy.
they're the unprivileged ppl in China, an order they might made 10 RMB, their wages just paid the bills, i feel sorry for them.
You can stop ordering so they won’t even have a job in the first place
to be fair, if there’s no such jobs, they probably wouldn’t have anything to do, or go back to their hometown to farm on their plot of land. Either way, they made ends meet. Respect
LOL yet another hit piece by CNA a U$ sponsored prop channel.
Amazing speedy delivery the first time I made an online order i Shanghai. Cheerful, efficient, Like no where else on earth, but I never realized their stress.
In China, if you work hard to deliver food, you can earn more than 10,000 yuan, but in India, if you work hard, you can only earn more than 1,000 yuan. The difference between the two is 10 times.
Respect them as they earn money through hard work. At least China doesn't have gun violence, mass homelessness on the streets, open drug abuse and LGBTQ.
Where is Renminmin, long time haven't seen her
A very biased reporting, food delivery job is not a luxury job!
That's why I supported Taiwan to be the real China
CNA is like a mini BSB NEWS
Singapore Grab rider are more educated. We even have degree holders making Singapore unemployment rate low🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂. Wonder why have a degree to work as grab driver and delivery boys
Different subject but I'm not a big fan of this new studio setup; its too spacious n wide for me. Prefer a closer n more intimate setting.
Come on.This's just a tip of an iceberg.In China,the situation is far more jaw dropping than we could ever imagine
Its call fate if you are a delivery driver and thats the only best job you can do or find.
10.000yuan /month? That's pretty good
but still lower than average salary in Shanghai. And considering the long working hours, it is even more struggling.
The lady says "my heart goes out to". Emotional Damage Crap.
It's more important than ever to support each other. Buying local helps all of us in Singapore thrive. Let’s do this together! 🌟
Supporting local is not just good for our economy, it’s good for our spirit. Let’s keep our local industries strong and vibrant!
Its your choice if you want to be a delivery driver and the same for people who want to become a drug addict then no one can stop you well in USA, if you have the IQ and qualities to become a doctor then no one can stop you to become a doctor because everything is gained from your time put into the hard work.
Even a doctor need to work for long hours, on Sat, on Sun. Did anyone complain
家里有亲戚10年在上海送快递，好的时候12k一个月，赚了钱回老家投资亏完了又回去送快递。
Indonesia have it even worst
Singapore especially Grabfood needs to toughen up on their riders and be more pro-consumer, almost all my orders take over an hour to arrive and so many so called riders are on foot, they should minimally be on a bicycle !!!
WELL IF YOU WEREN'T SO ADDICTED TO FAST FOOD AND ADDICTED TO SPENDING MONEY YOU DONT HAVE YOU WOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING ABOUT SOMETHING SO TRIVIAL.
@YoullGetBeatByYourMan and you spending time you don't have complaining about someone who's complaning about something so trivial
Ever thought of buying your own food yourself?
Only in China where degree holder does delivery job for a full-time😂
When everyone has a degree a degree becomes worthless.
Singapore too where Singapore graduates and PMETs have to deliver food or deliver people (cab driver) with zero hours contract because they can't find permanent jobs.
@@s._3560 Singapore has enough job for local to be PMET, even Chinese from china thinks we had the best leader than your current Winnie the Pooh.🤣🤣 You guys cannot even identify yourself as one china still talks about other countries
Today is another day to discredit China.🤭🤭American dad's salary
What credit does China has?
Explosive cancerous growth indeed.
Whatever it is, China is the top economy in the world! Food delivery? You measure China's economy with food delivery? 😂😂😂
Even superpower, super country like your master USA suffer bad economy downturn, shops are closing, banks collapsing, homeless everywhere, drug zombies increasing escape your reporting.. What about other Asian countries economy downturn that suffer worst then China? India, Phillipines, Thailand, Indonesia??
Chinese are hardworking. Same fate like Singapore Chinese who are not academically inclined. Singapore government favours educated migrant workers.
Third-world China 🇨🇳 has very weak labor laws to protect workers.
That's why it can't join high-standard trade organizations like the CPTPP.
What third world China, China already biggest economy of the world, this called competition, delivery standard, if you're not tough on these worker they will take a sweet time in their delivery! Your Singapore is just a tiny nation, how to compare China??
Try you interview this kind of job all around the world I'm sure eveyone have the same sentiments! Why targeting China? This is not an easy job!
@@WorldSpaceRacehe's not Singaporean. It's an Indian bot
🤭🤭🤭👍🇨🇳👌
The gay economy 😂 am I the only one that heard that
