The formation and characteristics of a nation's middle class are
shaped by historical context and the developmental path that has
been followed. However, can the same be said of the ethnic Chinese
middle classes in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Macao? Given the
divergent political and economic experiences under which the
respective middle classes were created, established, shaped, and
reshaped, can they still be characterized as a homogenous group of
'Chinese middle classes', or are they more unique within each
country? Using systematic survey data analysis and case studies to
examine and compare the emerging middle classes in Taiwan, Hong
Kong, Macao and Urban China, this book explores whether the middle
classes in these countries possess any uniquely 'Chinese' features,
or if these are shared attributes that can be found in other
non-Chinese middle classes in the Asia-Pacific region. It analyses
the formation, profile, culture, lifestyles, mobility, and politics
of the middle class groups in each country, and highlights the
differences and similarities that emerge, and focuses in particular
on increased mobility, financial resilience, class anxiety, and
political interest and effectiveness. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars interested in Asian middle
classes, Chinese studies, Chinese societies, Chinese ethnicity and
Chinese politics.
