This book delves into Foucault's theoretical works to comprehend the (re-) creation of the Chinese working class. By employing Foucault's genealogical (historicalization) method, the author explores how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has developed Chinese governmentality (or government of mentalities) among ordinary workers within its thought management system. Through an examination of significant historical events in China, the author demonstrates how the CCP's ability to retain, update, and incorporate numerous Confucian discourses into its contemporary form of thought management system through social networks, such as families and schools, enables it to continuously (re-) shape workers' consciousness into one that upholds their docility. This book will offer a fresh perspective on Chinese working-class politics and labor movements. It will serve as a comprehensive resource for students and academics with interests in Chinese employment relations, Chinese politics, labor activist culture, and social movements.
