Proper Essay Example About Reading Post 4

Is the author arguing that the Chinese government is using the excuse of wanting to keep up with the rest of the modern world to support the idea of making migrant women work in such horrible conditions for meager wages? I am asking this question because I am wondering if the author is claiming that this kind of labor is a result of Communism for she keeps referring to the party-state and their greedy need to increase their profits even if it costs their workers’ their lives. I am also unsure about what they mean by party-state market complex? Perhaps they could be referring to how the government seems to like to control what goes on in businesses so in the end is it the factory’s fault the workers’ died in the fire or the government’s for continuing to push them to produce more goods so they could keep up with major industrialized nations such as England and the United States?
The Chinese working class are constantly made and unmade in the historical context that they are not treated as human beings but as tools and machinery the factories can manipulate however they want. The workers are put into this mindset that they are worthless and slave away not to earn money they can send home to their families but to please their masters. In this sense the working class is no different than the peasants living under the thump of the emperor and his lords centuries before. This is further reflected in how the terrible conditions the workers live and work in are widely known but no one speaks out against it because this is the way it is supposed to be. In other words while the working class is getting paid they are still treated like peasants.
