China's Solution to Unemployment

Not being a capitalist state, China has no corporations with stockholders as such.

Nevertheless, it does need to confront the problem of unemployment.  The way it handles the problem is by having people, as a resource to make use of, do the work of machines. 

What's happened in Western societies is that machines do the work of people with even greater efficiency.  So, either these countries must live with more unemployment but large profit margins for the stockholders to reap or must encourage companies to hire people do work that machines might do with greater productivity.

In China the individual is motivated to go to work (or to school) because his primary meal is served there.  I've seen construction workers delight in the interaction among them as they handle construction materials.  I've seen, too, clerks in stores, howbeit there's many more than actually are needed, enjoy each other's company!  The point is, there's much to be said for an oversupply of workers in the workplace.
