“…This group comprises 1.5% of the population (Lu, 2002). Privatization and shareholding institutions help this group achieve prosperity or, more precisely, help them to capitalize on their assets (So, 2001). These beneficiaries are becoming exceedingly rich in legitimate ways.…”

Since the Open and Reform Policy, China has been making great progress toward modernization. A salient phenomenon accompanying economic boom is increased social inequality and crime, and these are destabilizing Chinese society. This paper shows how income and social inequality were socially, structurally and institutionally constructed during the reform period because of a continuation of the pre-reform social strata that deprived peasants of equal access to education, employment, housing, and health care opportunities. The social inequality gives rise to a huge floating population which is socially disorganized and has no attachment, commitment, or involvement in communities. Low external control and strain also led to high crime rates among the floating population.

“…As a result, by the late 1990s the class structure of urban China had become more fragmented and less clearly hierarchical than in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Bian 2002;So 2003). Significant debate has arisen about the degree to which market reforms have created a fundamentally new order, and in particular about whether significant erosion has occurred in the privilege and superior social status of the cadre official class in comparison to entrepreneurs and intellectuals and whether inequality in the rewards of manual and nonmanual employment has significantly increased.…”

China's class structure is changing dramatically in the wake ofpost-1978 marketoriented economic reforms. The creation ofa mixed "market-socialist" economy has eroded the institutional bases of a cadre-dominated social hierarchy and created conditions for a new pattern of social stratification. Although conditions remain dynamic, results of a 1998 urban survey that measured strength and diversity of social ties among 400 households in four of China's largest cities documented networks ofsocial exchange among 13 occupation-based classes that identify a class structure distinct from the cadre-dominated social hierarchy of the Mao era. In particular, analysis of visiting during the Lunar New Year celebration suggests an urban society simultaneously divided along two axes: one by economic success in the more privatized economy and one by distinctions in political authority at the workplace. Thus contrary to those who privilege market transactions as the primary engine for creating a new class hierarchy, we conclude that to understand processes of social stratification one needs theories and methods that work simultaneously with multiple dynamics of class differentiation rather than presuming linear hierarchy.

“…Uma parte significativa desta literatura tem enfatizado a característica do Partido-Estado como criador dos novos capitalistas, com estrito controle sobre a nova classe ( VAN DER PIJL, 2012MCNALLY, 2010;DICKSON, 2008DICKSON, , 2003SO, 2003;GUO, 2003). Em maior ou menor grau, essa literatura reverbera a noção do Estado nacional-desenvolvimentista weberiano como ator autônomo, racional e dotado de uma burocracia talentosa com visão de longo prazo, coerente e bem-intencionada em relação ao processo de desenvolvimento econômico de maneira alargada.…”

“…Tanto para Dickson (2008), que chama essa nova classe de "capitalistas vermelhos", quanto para So (2003), que caracteriza o surgimento de uma "classe capitalista partidária", trata-se de um processo racionalmente articulado pelo Partido para criar capitalistas a partir dos seus próprios rankings ou cooptá-los desde o início do seu surgimento. Ambos oferecem vários fatos estilizados sobre a participação desproporcional de empreendedores nas estruturas políticas dos governos local e central, além de relatarem o processo de enriquecimento das famílias de políticos tradicionais de todos os níveis.…”

Artigo recebido em 22/09/2017 e aprovado para publicação em 24/10/2017. 1 RESUMO: Este artigo complexifica o debate sobre o papel do Estado no desenvolvimento econômico ao lançar luz sobre uma dimensão muitas vezes ignorada na narrativa sobre o nacional-desenvolvimentismo na China: a relação do Partido-Estado com os capitalistas domésticos emergentes. Para tanto, nós analisamos os principais mecanismos utilizados para concentração de capital e formação de uma classe capitalista doméstica na China, evidenciamos a estreita relação dessa classe com o PartidoEstado e sugerimos como essa dinâmica se vincula com as mudanças no regime de acumulação. O objetivo é mostrar como o processo de formação da nova classe capitalista é uma via de mão
