Web-savvy & cynical: China's youth since Tiananmen

Twenty years ago, on the night of June 3, rumors were flying about an impending military crackdown against demonstrators in Beijing.

Poor China!

To have an entire generation lessened, humiliated, and brain-damaged by the CCP dictators is a shameful and tragic thing.

The silver lining is that their allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party is shallow and entirely based on self-interest. With the right consensus, it could be abandoned by all in short order.

Let's hope that the Chinese youth are not as fearful and stupid as this article makes them out to be.

Far from being apolitical or apthatic, the Chinese youth had their voice and presence heard and seen in mass during global protest against western media's misinformation campaign, during the Olympic event, and during the Sichuan earthquake rescue effort. This piece is clearly west's lament & berate at Chinese youth's pragmatic & mature world view instead of a generation of wideye idealists dancing to the their tunes.
