A new book claims that Chinese Millennials may be the catalyst to change policies within their country. In Wish Lanterns: Young Lives in New China, author Alec Ash argues that young people in China are not just apathetic “materialist consumerists” or “nationalists,” but actually deeply passionate about where their country is going. He describes the generation as more connected and “international in their outlook,” leaning towards liberal policies like L.G.B.T and women’s rights. He also adds they have more confidence to speak up about unjust treatment, and are already influencing societal and political change in China. (The New York Times)
