Explores how `care', defined as `work done on behalf of others', allows villagers to forge belonging and stake claims over the locality, its values, and each other, in defiance of the social exclusion projected by China's politics of place and localization of class.

Putting China into the context of general anthropology offers novel insights into its history, culture and society. Studies in the anthropology of China need to look outwards, to other anthropological areas, while at the same time, anthropologists specialised elsewhere cannot afford to ignore contributions from China.
