Beijing is now blaming the CIA for China’s “lying flat” trend among young people. Officials say foreign forces are spreading pessimism and discouraging hard work. But on the ground, the reality looks very different. Rising unemployment, shrinking opportunities, and mounting social pressure are pushing many young people to step back—not because they want to, but because they feel they have no way forward. This episode breaks down the stories, the data, and the growing disconnect between official narratives and lived experience—and why this quiet withdrawal is becoming one of the most sensitive issues in China today.
