Borne Back Ceaselessly into the Past: Reactionary Politics in China

When the libertarian looks upon society, he does not see isolated individuals; he sees private, often hierarchical, groups, where a father governs his family and an owner his employees. —Corey Robin (2011: 16) What is reactionary politics? The global resurgence of the reactionary right in recent years has attracted considerable scholarly attention. Yet, despite […] The post Borne Back Ceaselessly into the Past: Reactionary Politics in China appeared first on Made in China Journal.

Episode 13 | Arise, Workers of China

Growing up in 1990s China, Yangyang encountered two contradictory narratives about what it meant to be a worker. In older periodicals and occasionally in state media, workers were hailed as the ‘master class’ and being one was glorious. Many of her relatives and teachers, however, held up laid-off state-enterprise workers as a stern warning: if […] The post Episode 13 | Arise, Workers of China appeared first on Made in China Journal.

On Bureaucratic Ownership: From Anti-Bureaucratism to Anti-Official Profiteering

Scholars have long debated whether the transition from the Mao Zedong era to Deng Xiaoping’s Reform and Opening Up was a moment of rupture or continuity. One influential view holds that the 1980s saw a rise of Western-influenced liberalism (Calhoun 1994) and Deng’s program marked a ‘fundamental departure’ from Maoism (Vogel 2011). This rupture thesis […] The post On Bureaucratic Ownership: From Anti-Bureaucratism to Anti-Official Profiteering appeared first on Made in China Journal.

Agricultural Drones: Material Afterlives of Mao’s Green Revolution

The four propellers begin to spin. A gust of wind presses down the surrounding rice plants as a pulsing rotor-whir fills the air. The drone, carrying its battery and a tank of pesticides, lifts off and stabilises, hovering briefly before angling towards the fields. It accelerates over the paddies, the air beneath it flattening the […] The post Agricultural Drones: Material Afterlives of Mao’s Green Revolution appeared first on Made in China Journal.

Life before e-commerce can feel like a foreign country. For the ‘Chinamaxxing’ crowd, fresh meals and fancy gadgets delivered to your doorstep almost instantly, at astonishingly low prices, are among the country’s top draws. Yet these conveniences come with hidden costs, and China’s path to becoming an e-commerce giant has been far from certain. How […] The post Episode 12 | Entrapped by E-Commerce appeared first on Made in China Journal.

China’s Approach to AI: Infrastructural Statecraft, Managed Pluralism

China’s artificial intelligence (AI) trajectory is often characterised as ‘frugal innovation’ (Waters 2025), ‘self-reliance’ (Wang et al. 2025), or a state-controlled approach to innovation and diffusion (Roberts et al. 2021). Many observers have focused on China’s AI policy and regulatory approach, portraying it as ‘vertical’ (as opposed to the ‘horizontal approach’ of the European Union’s […] The post China’s Approach to AI: Infrastructural Statecraft, Managed Pluralism appeared first on Made

In the Woods

In recent years, political depression has emerged not only as a psychological condition but also as a culturally embedded affective response shaped by broader socio-political forces. Clinically, it resembles depression, but its aetiology is tied explicitly to political events and structural disenfranchisement. It manifests as hopelessness, a loss of faith in personal agency, and a […] The post In the Woods appeared first on Made in China Journal.

Dance from and by ethnic minorities constitutes a significant part of how people perceive both ethnic minority cultures in China and Chinese dance at large. However, observers often miss how the staging of contemporary Chinese ethnic folk dance is not a direct representation of some original ‘folk body’. It is, rather, the accumulated product of […] The post To Whom Does Ethnic Folk Dance Belong? appeared first on Made in China Journal.

When American agronomist and author of Fanshen (1966), William Hinton, made the journey to this seemingly unremarkable village in the autumn of 1947, he spent weeks navigating the North China Plain. Travelling at the height of the Chinese Civil War, he traversed territories held by […] The post Secretary Wang’s American Friend: William Hinton and the Long History of ‘Fanshen’ appeared first on Made in China Journal.
