This text proposes and applies an analytical framework to study the institutional continuity and changes in China. More specifically, this study examines and explains the premodernity and the modernization process of China. On the track of a state-led modernization, China is found to be institutionally entering the nets of the market economy. An inquiry of China’s labour allocation patterns and their changes serves as an indicator for the institutional analysis.
