In this article I will analyse food as a stratification marker in the increasingly more dominant consumer and experience economy of China. In what way constitute food and the consumption of food important markers in China? How is this related to a gradually more dominating Chinese consumerism? Culturally speaking food is generally used as a common marker for social identity but can therefore also constitute a marker serving to highlight differences and individual identity. I will in the following address how this takes place and acquires cultural expression in the Chinese late-modern experience economy.
