"Are You Satisfied? We are Trembling and Anxious" Chinese Youth Question Xi Jinping

Youth unemployment, declining job opportunities, rising living costs, debt, and a weakening economy are putting enormous pressure on millions of young Chinese. One analysis suggested that if the 16 million young people who were neither working nor studying were included, China’s youth unemployment rate could have reached 46.5% in March 2023, far above the officially reported 19.7% at the time.

In this video, we look beyond the statistics and examine the real stories behind China’s employment crisis — from graduates whose jobs were suddenly cancelled, to workers losing stable employment in Beijing and Shanghai, and businesses struggling to survive as consumers cut spending.
