China has seen two big "viral movements" on recent years, tang ping (lay flat) and bai lan (let it rot).
I have not spent much time on the ground, but it'd seem to me that chinese youth is turning towards nihilism just as much as western youth. Not usually a sign of "anything is within our reach" mentality.
