The Dialectics of Chinese Labor examines China's trade union adaptation to the changing demands of the working class. For nearly 50 years, market socialism is transforming China from a rural to an urban economy, posing significant challenges to China's trade union federation (ACFTU). The labor federation has skilfully reshaped its organizing strategies to respond to workers' new material realities. This book counters the monolithic position that devalues ACFTU by using direct evidence to reveal its commitment and determination to improve wages and working conditions across the industrial, service, digital and rural sectors of the Chinese economy.
