State workers in China have until recently enjoyed the 'iron rice
bowl' of comprehensive cradle-to-grave benefits and lifetime
employment. This central institution in Chinese politics emerged
over the course of various crises that swept through China's
industrial sector prior to and after revolution in 1949. Frazier
explores critical phases in the expansion of the Chinese state
during the middle third of the twentieth century to reveal how
different labour institutions reflected state power. While the
'iron rice bowl' is usually seen as an outgrowth of Communist
labour policy, Frazier's account shows that is has longer
historical roots. As a product of the Chinese state, the iron rice
bowl's dismantling in the 1990s has raised sensitive issues about
the way in which the contemporary Chinese state exerts control over
urban industrial society. This book sheds light on state and
society relations in China under the Nationalist and Communist
regimes.
