This chapter investigates how platform precarity is institutionally and structurally produced, with particular focus onthe interaction between platform governance and state policies. I argue that the precarity of Chinese migrant fooddeliverydrivers is shaped by three interlocking mechanisms: platforms’ outsourcing of labour recruitment throughthird-party agencies to avoid legal liabilities; intensified algorithmic control and performance management; and thepersistent exclusion of rural migrants from full urban citizenship, which compels them to accept precarious platformlabour as a last resort. These structural vulnerabilities constrain workers’ capacity to resist, and any emergentcollective actions are often subject to suppression by both platforms and the state.
