BBC World Service - In the Balance, China's Generation-Y Speaks Out

Young Chinese, trapped amidst economic turmoil, raise doubts about government tactics

Young, ambitious Chinese, trapped amidst the country's economic turmoil, raise doubts about their government's handling of the economy, as they worry about the future

With a Chinese economic crisis looming, IN THE BALANCE this week takes a step inside the country to hear from the generation of wealthy, middle-class twenty-somethings who will determine the country's future. With extraordinary candour, they raise questions about the way their government is handling the country's economy, they raise questions about the ability of their parent's generation to fully understand the global economic changes which impact China and they outline with remarkable clarity, their generation's hopes for personal wealth, freedom to choose and a greater participation in the global economy. We're also joined by leading economic thinkers and long-time China-watchers Kenneth Rogoff, George Magnus and Diana Choyleva, all on hand to respond to this unique glimpse inside the minds of China's Generation-Y.
