An interactive map of China’s wildcat strikes

China’s move into a “mixed economy” has created a wealth inequality
crisis to rival any nation’s; wildcat workers’ strikes (aided by Young Communist movements)
have become increasingly common, though they are not often reported in
the news (it helps that Chinese state media and the country’s official
censors suppress these reports).

The Hong Kong-based China Labor Bulletin maintains a map of all these
strikes, which you can drill down into for news and other detail. As
Naked Capitalism notes,
it’s instructional to view the map as a time-series by filtering it by
year; looking at the rise and rise of strikes from 2011 to 2018 paints a
picture of a country in real upheaval.

You can also export the data from the map in a structured format, which
should be very useful for a certain kind of scholar or activist.
