Why are freelance jobs getting popular in China?

There are more than 200 million freelancers and remote workers in the working population in China.

Despite that this figure only constitutes 0.13% of the overall 1.45 billion population in China, the 200 million freelancer workers in China are even more than the entire population of Pakistan and Japan.

The advancement of mobile internet and e-payment services in China that allow talents to receive payments wherever and whenever they are, is the main reason for this. By 2036, the number of China freelancers will further increase to over 400 million according to AliResearch.
