Why does China leave the future of the nation to its youth?

ASEAN – What can we actually expect from the Chinese youth of today? The conclusion reached in the country’s first white paper on the subject, titled “Youth of China in the New Era,” which was published a month ago, is that young people in China are self-assured, optimistic, and responsible.

Chinese President Xi Jinping issued a call to action to the country’s youth, emphasizing that the hope of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the country itself rests on the youth of the country. He urged the young people to take on the responsibility of building a modern socialist country and realizing the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.

These statements were delivered by him on Tuesday during a ceremony that was held to celebrate the centennial of the Communist Youth League of China (CYLC), which is a large-scale youth organization that is led by the CPC.

The May Fourth Movement, which began in 1919, was a significant factor in accelerating the development of Marxism across China. After another year had passed, the CPC was established. The Communist Youth Liberation Committee was established the following year, with the Party acting as its primary leader and promoter.
