“…The dependent variables 38 Gallagher et al 2014. 39 Hu, Tu andWu 2017;Wright 2018. 40 Gallagher 2006Su and He 2010. are the three different modes of government responses (non-intervention, nonforceful intervention and forceful intervention) and the independent variables are dummies of the top seven demands found in each of the collective actions in the sample.…”

While Chinese local governments remain extremely wary of workers’ collective actions, they do not always suppress them; sometimes, they tolerate such actions and even seek to placate workers. What accounts for these different government responses to workers’ collective actions? Based on a sample of over 1,491 collective action cases that took place in Guangdong between 2011 and 2016, we find that the types of demands raised by workers during collective actions affect how local governments respond. Local governments are likely to forcefully intervene in collective actions in which workers make defensive claims concerning issues of payment. In contrast, local governments are likely to use non-forceful approaches in response to actions in which workers make defensive claims regarding social security.

“…This means that close social relationships among residents can lead to conflicts of opinion when there is a lack of government leadership and management. Hu, Yue, and Tong (2018) proposed three examples to illustrate the effects of different levels of government intervention on residents' collective behavior. Hu et al (2018) also concluded that when the level of cohesion among residents is high, resident self-governance is more likely to pose risks to residents' collective behavior.…”

“…It is perhaps for this reason that additional, and often redundant, channels were established to enable citizens to monitor public officials. Village elections (O'Brien and Li, 2000), the media (Stockmann, 2013), civil society organisations (Li et al, 2018;Teets, 2013), public deliberation arenas (He and Warren, 2011), local informants (Guo, 2012;Lucas and Feng, 2018), administrative litigation (Michelson, 2007;O'Brien and Li, 2004;Woo, 2011), and "grid management" (Chen and Kang, 2016;Hu et al, 2018) all helped (local) leaders to gather citizen feedback on government performance. Popular protest represents another source of valuable information on public discontent and is therefore occasionally tolerated by central and local leaders (Cai, 2008;Lorentzen, 2017).…”

Why do Chinese governments at various levels set up public complaint websites where citizen petitions and government responses can be reviewed by the general public? We argue that it is the result of two factors: strong signals sent by the central government to improve governance, and the availability of new technologies to promote policy innovation. To impress their superiors, local officials adopted newly available commercial technology to innovate existing citizen feedback systems, which presented a developmental trajectory from “openness,” “integration,” to “big data-driven prediction.” Drawing on policy documents and interviews with local politicians and administrators, we provide a chronological perspective of how technical development, central government’s signals and local decision-making have interacted in the past two decades to bring forth today’s public complaint websites. The contingent and non-teleological nature of this development can also be applied to other policies such as the social credit system.
