China can?t afford the social safety net to absorb those unemployed people, and in the context of a social upheaval on the scale of Europe?s industrial revolution, they?re perceived as a mortal threat to the very survival of the Chinese state. It?s that thinking that has driven the crackdown on the Falun Gong religious sect over the past 18 months.
