Abstract

Abstract: Beginning in November 2022, China faced massive demonstrations contesting the strict “zero COVID” policies that left many citizens constrained within their homes and short of necessary materials. Multiple protests erupted in response to conditions faced by China’s workforce, including violent clashes in Zhengzhou against authority figures at the world’s largest iPhone factory. In this interview, GJIA sat down with Eli Friedman, Associate Professor at Cornell University, to discuss the context and ramifications of these protests as well as broader insights about the state of Chinese labor and its relation to the broader world.
