Abstract
The recent outbreak of strikes at foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) in some
Chinese coastal cities brought China and its labour law into the spotlight and
raised questions about the future of China’s workforce and labour protection.
The core question seems to surround the inherent conflict between, on the one
hand, the Party-state’s priority to maintain social stability and "harmony", and
on the other, the growing demands at the grassroots level by China’s workers
struggling for better conditions and treatment amid China’s economic growth.
This article attempts to take a positive approach in its analysis of the increasing
worker activism in China by referring to Confucianism and Chinese labour law.
