From Detroit to Shanghai? Globalization, Market Reform, and Dynamics of Labor Unrest in the Chinese Automobile Industry

The rapid rise of China to become the world‘s largest automobile producer and market (surpassing the United States) in the midst of global economic crisis made newspaper headlines at the end of 2009. Despite the extensive interest in the booming auto industry, little attention had been paid to the 1.7 million Chinese autoworkers who are ― making those headlines ― until a strike wave by auto part workers at in May and June 2010 put the Chinese autoworkers in the national and international spotlight. The historic events unfolded when a two-week strike at the Honda transmission and engine parts plant in southern China shut down the company‘s four assembly plants and many parts plants throughout China in late May.
