Popular Culture and the CCP Social Bargain

Introduction to China

Young people have been at the vanguard of every significant social movement in China for over a century, yet the youth archetype has changed significantly over this period. This lecture explores what it means to be a young person in China today, examining the relationship of Chinese youth with the one-party state and the Communist Party’s grand legitimacy bargain, along with their interactions with the market economy and the world outside of China.
