China
Index
The cellular structure of contemporary Chinese society and the
Chinese Communist Party's single-party rule mean that almost all
social organizations share common characteristics
(see Social Change
, this ch.). The same general description (an all-embracing
social unit, whose members are assigned to it for life and which is
organized on bureaucratic principles, subordinate to higher
administrative levels, and managed by a branch of the party)
applies to villages, schools, administrative offices, factories, or
army units. All of these are work units.
