The momentum towards a civil society lost: the tragic evolution of Chinese white collar

Tragic evolution of Chinese middle class
　　

由于处于社会结构的最中层，白领是最为温和的力量，也似乎正因为此，在政策设计者们对下层弱势群体关爱和同情，又对特权阶层和巨富人群鲜有约管的情况下，在仅仅出现20多年后的今天，白领不知不觉沦为一系列政策的受损者，他们在重负下前行，成为体力和脑力严重透支的人群。.....

In the middle of the society, white collar workers belong to the most moderate political force. It seems this very fact has made them newest victims of the governmental policy, especially when the policy maker pays much attention to the weak groups and is not capable of disciplining tycoons and privileged ruling class. Under the fierce competition and heavy pressure, white collar workers have lost their confidence. Some betrayed the main stream values of the class. While they are exploited by the privileged class and charted businessman, the government employees gradually become the representatives of Chinese middle class. Ironically, the transition of the institution now seemingly relies on the new middle class: privileged government employees.
