AWL London forum: the Beijing Olympics and Chinese workers' struggles
As you watch the Olympic spectacular in August, spare a thought for the
workers on Beijing's Olympic construction sites, working for about US$5 a day, under terrible conditions. These workers are part of a hundred of millions-strong workforce that has the potential to transform the country - to overturn a political system that tortures and imprisons its opponents and an economic and social system that rests on super-exploitation.
After decades of economic growth at around 10% a year, the Chinese
working class has grown enormously, many millions are migrant workers in
China's major cities, as well as migrants who have left China seeking a better life. Not working-class organisation and struggle is on the rise.
How long before the Chinese working class discovers the militant
traditions of its past, before it was crushed by the Stalinist regime?
