Abstract: In the wake of the 2015 crackdown on labour NGOs, pessimism about the future of Chinese civil society has been unavoidable even for the most assured optimists.Still, pessimism and optimism in discussions of Chinese labour NGOs have roots that go far deeper than this latest turn of events.In this essay, Ivan Franceschini and Kevin Lin take stock of the existing literature and reconsider the debate in light of the latest developments, proposing a possible synthesis between 'optimistic' and 'pessimistic' views.
