Young Chinese: Confident in themselves and their country

China Daily  

Editor's note: A country's future is its youth. Some Chinese readers have noted Western media tends only to mention New Zealand and Australia when discussing success stories in fighting the pandemic, even though these countries have far smaller populations than China, where fighting an epidemic is far more difficult. While the language is not a problem – since many young Chinese speak foreign languages well – they struggle to understand what happened to the "objectivity" so often touted by Western media. The focus of young Chinese people's anger was the large number of fabricated or distorted reports, often taken out-of-context, in Western media depicting a China unrecognizable to them. The US magazine Foreign Policy is aware of this, publishing an article titled "Young People in China Are Losing Faith in the West," which states: "Beijing's relative success at conquering the pandemic may have convinced many young, foreign-educated Chinese that China's political and social values produce better outcomes than Western ones."
