Blue collar people were always worse off than white collar. Historically, they didn't rebel, but just tried to get their kids the best education they could, so that the next generation could have an easier life as a part of the white collar class.

Chinas attempt to make an entire generation of white collar workers is backfiring stupendously.

It turns out the better solution is to improve the lot of blue collar workers by investing in safety, tool, automation, etc. and increasing salary.
