Abstract:

With the transnational capitals， the segmented labor market in China has been structured. On the basis of New Liberal Ideology， the tremendous capital superiority of multinational corporations has helped highest labor force enter the market and its segmentation. Postmodern capitalist production patterns have influenced the control relationships of the corporative authorities and the highest labor force in the multinational corporations in China. Under task management， those at the higher positions have to overwork， and have shown consenting obedience due to the intensity within the internal labor market. Furthermore， they have developed various positive career strategies relying upon their specialized technical qualifications and competitive abilities. While transnational capitals are segmenting the Chinese labor market， they are also influencing the reconstruction of the social structure in Chinathe emergence of the new middle class.

Key words: fragmentation, consenting obedience, positive career strategies, middle class, segmented labor market structure
