China’s “Comfort Class” | The Bling Dynasty, National Geographic Magazine: Oriental Pearl Tower in Mingzhu Park | October Holiday | Shanghai

Oriental Pearl Tower in Mingzhu Park | October Holiday | Shanghai

Russian dancers entertain the comfort class on the worker’s holiday period in October. The Communist government used to cater to the peasant class, now the government caters to the Comfort Class. They legislate private property laws so you can own your condo, car, and big screen TV, but they don’t allow peasants to own the land under their feet. There is a 3-week vacation period in October that all Comfort Class office workers take in lock step. The streets are full of entertainment like these Russian dancers acting out in a way that would be difficult for an office worker Chinese national.
