In _Labor, Class Formation, and China's Informationized Policy of
Economic Development_, Yu Hong examines crucial connections between
the evolving political economy of information and communications
technology (ICT) and the reconstitution of class relations in China.
Situating China's ICT development over the last thirty years at the
intersection of transnational trends, domestic policies, and
institutional arrangements, Hong shows how evolving class relations in
the ICT sector are shaped by and shaping the transnational capitalist
dynamics and domestic socio-economic transformations. She goes on to
argue that the huge and still expanding pool of Chinese ICT workers
and their newly attained identities-as wage labor rather than
consumers-constitute a missing but important dimension of human
experiences of the rise of the "information society."
