Labor law: 'No giving in to pressure'

China's top trade union body has warned that the country would not kowtow to pressure from foreign businesses to water down a new law designed to offer greater protection to hundreds of millions of workers.

Voting on the law is expected this month.

The government received more than 200,000 public comments on the draft law, some suggesting that foreign businesses may be inclined to shift production elsewhere because the proposed law is "too strict", and operating costs could increase.
