Nation States and the Culture of Capitalism

            China's rise as the "world's workshop" has drawn to it scholarly interest in the scope of global capitalism. The continuous accumulation of capital from the West to Korea, Japan, Taiwan and then to China has led to rapid industrialization in these regions, which has also left the countries susceptible to crisis. China's further integration into the neoliberal economy of the world has caused more pronounced structural imbalance and inequality of class. This paper focuses on converting the Chinese working class into a dormitory labor regime. Providing workers with employer-owned dormitories is fundamental to the accumulation of capital in urban China (Pun and Chan 179). .
             In order for capitalism to develop, there has to be a setting of non-capitalist social organization. This is because it creates favorable conditions and eliminates all kinds of possible barriers to its expansion (Pun and Chan 180). In the early 1990s, most of the socialist economies were forced into global capitalism since they were unable to sustain their form of conventional existence. However, China for the longest time has centered itself on non-capitalist social relations and has since grown into the largest producer and a vital geopolitical location for accumulation of capital in the world. .
             The rapid incorporation into the capitalist economy of the world has compelled the Chinese national government leaders to reverse their earlier policies that prohibited rural-urban migration. As a result, peasants have been encouraged to become wage laborers and have made staff in growing factories that provide for the export boom. However, the rural workers who have been brought to the city have been denied the rights of urban citizenship. The deprivation of this right is justified on the basis that the migrants still hold their rural citizenship under the government's registration system referred to as hukou (Pun and Chan 181).
