ABSTRACT

This paper aims to examine the cultural contradiction of state neoliberalism in China. First it discusses the concept of cultural contradiction as formulated by Daniel Bell (1976), and then it examines the making of cultural contradiction in post-socialist China since 1978. After that, it studies the linkages between cultural contradiction and the moral crisis in Chinese society. At the end, it argues that moral crisis in contemporary Chinese society is a product of the cultural contradiction of state neoliberalism.
