Entitled, empowered and unique – these are some of the words used to describe China’s millennials. This generation, of mostly only-children, has grown up in an era of unprecedented prosperity. But with the economy slowing down, can the Chinese government meet the expectations of young people accustomed to getting their way?
This month’s On China, CNN’s Kristie Lu Stout goes on the road to China’s commercial capital of Shanghai and meets Ctrip’s Chief Operating Officer Jane Sun; Shang Learning’s founder Nini Suet; and the author of China’s Millennials: The Want Generation Eric Fish. They will discuss how China’s millennials are going to reshape the country and the challenges that it presents.
On China airs May 26, 4:30 p.m on CNN International.
