Jenny Chan interviewed by Daniel Denvir for The Dig (10 April 2019)
Jenny Chan interviewed by Daniel Denvir for The Dig (a podcast from Jacobin
magazine), in “Chinese
Class Conflict with Jenny Chan,” 10 April 2019 (total run time: 01:56:59).
In the US, China is often viewed at best as a nefarious and enigmatic rival and at worst as a civilizational enemy. But these stories of national rivalry that permeate both major parties and the mainstream media function as a mystification, shrouding the global supply chain that connects capitalist exploitation from East to West. When we cut through the noise, a rather different picture emerges: China is home to a massive portion of the world's working-class, a class that is struggling against the combined forces of state and global capital for dignified lives. And these struggles, contrary to conventional wisdom, are deeply connected, rather than opposed to, worker struggles in the West. Dan interviews sociologist Jenny Chan on China's class conflict and labor movement.
