In this case, the average salary is about 3 to 4 times the minimum pay which is within the norm, I think.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and China signed a landmark agreement on Wednesday for construction of six patrol vessels for Maritime Security Agency (PMSA).
The agreement was signed today during a ceremony at the Ministry of Defence Production (MoDP) in Rawalpindi.
Documents were signed by M/s China Ship Trading Company (M/s CSTC) and the Pakistani government on behalf MoDP.
According to the agreement, four ships will be constructed in China with the remaining two will be built at Karachi's Shipyard and Engineering Works under Transfer of Technology.
The spokesman for MoDP said that acquisition of new ships is a step towards PMSA's capacity building by the government which will boost the agency's operational preparedness for protection of resources in Pakistan's Exclusive Economic Zone and fishery protection.
The spokesman further said that new ships will be used for maritime law enforcement operations against drug trafficking and illegal immigration.
Last year, the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) approved eight development projects worth Rs157 billion, including two signature projects of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N – first phase of Pakistan-China Economic Corridor (PCEC)
The committee had also approved Rs13.87bn for procurement of six maritime patrol vessels for Pakistan Maritime Security Agency.

Of course and China is wise to do that.. I would say of all the specific branches of military the USN is probably by far the most dominant and capable compared to other nation's individual specific military services.
Even at the height of the cold war the USSR never came close to matching the USN unlike say army or air force.
Personally I think the IJN put a giant scare in the national psyche during WWII. After that we went nuts with the Navy and never looked back.
So THALES did install the SMART-S mk 2 on this ship while still being in China. Not a good move at all..
Why is not not a "good move"? They're a subcontractor for the project, so naturally they'd choose the most efficient way of delivering and integrating their product.
To have a working relationship means a degree of trust and secrecy, if the fear is that China might try to conduct espionage to take information from the SMART-S, well Thales can put in a number of safeguards to minimize the most classified data and access to their partners simply on the basis of retaining their company's property.
China has also worked with western contractors when producing ships for export... the Naresuan class frigates of Thailand were built in China and are equipped with Mk-41 VLS and Mk-45 5 inch gun, all installed at the Chinese shipyard.
