It’s always interesting to read about other countries compensation systems on occupational diseases. I found a post on the Chinese system. 

On the China Labour bulletin there is a post on the compensation for work-related injury in China. The China Labour bulletin was founded in 1994 by labour activist Han Dongfang and has grown from a small monitoring and research group into a proactive outreach organization that seeks to defend and promote workers rights in the People’s Republic of China. We are a non-governmental organization based in Hong Kong and have extensive links and cooperation with labour groups and law firms within China, as well as with the international labour movement.

There is a 10 grade work ability scale. Grades 1 – 4 are the most serious and indicate that the employee no longer has any ability to work; grades 5 and 6 signify that an employee has lost most of their ability to work, while workers with grade 7 to 10 injuries are classified as partially disabled. By law, employers are required to pay the medical expenses of employees suffering from work-related injuries as well as a disability allowance based on the seriousness of the injuries.
