For nearly four decades, China's manufacturing boom has been
powered by the labor of 287 million rural migrant workers, who
travel seasonally between villages where they farm for subsistence
and cities where they work. Yet recently local governments have
moved away from manufacturing and toward urban expansion and
construction as a development strategy. As a result, at least 88
million rural people to date have lost rights to village land. In
Beneath the China Boom, Julia Chuang follows the trajectories of
rural workers, who were once supported by a village welfare state
and are now landless. This book provides a view of the undertow of
China's economic success, and the periodic crises-a rural fiscal
crisis, a runaway urbanization-that it first created and now must
resolve.
