"Through painstakingly prepared case studies and empirical investigation, Butollo studies the LED industry and the textile and garment industry in the Pearl River Delta. He concludes that industrial upgrading does not necessarily lead to social upgrading, a warning the Chinese government should keep in mind. . . . Accessible to readers at all levels and . . . valuable for anyone interested in Chinese labor conditions. . . . Recommended."
