'Diana Fu observes a unique form of mobilisation in China; that is, mobilisation without the masses and its assorted tactics. In other words, civil society organizations in China do mobilise. However, instead of mobilising, for example, the working class, activists target individuals or small groups by coaching them on how to confront the state. Fu highlights explanations for such a unique form. She also systematically identifies several key conditions under which civil society organizations could strike a balance between being obedient to the state and facilitating labor contention.' Yao-Tai Li, Social Movement Studies
