Recently I read an editorial in < The wall street Journal> which was talking about the young people in China and America. The editorial analyzed the mindset and behavior of the young people of two countries from the economic and political perspective. The young people of China whose ages are about 30 experienced crazy 32 times GDP growth in past 30 years,and for American, it was only 3 times, so the new generation Chinese are different from their elders,they are self-confident, rich and lucky, and the mainly point is, they are proud of their motherland and very confident for the future. And the recent US election has made them to comment on the social system and policy,it was a big change as we knew Chinese were lack of political minded. Compared with their parents, they have different point of views on America,their parents appreciate America due to its freedom and advanced, but for young Chinese, they have more opportunities to learn about the world and find that China is fast growing and having a lot of chance for further personal development if you stay,so most of them select to go to school in America and get back to China for work. I am not sure what will happen in China and America in coming years, but I am sure more and more young people will come to China as the market is attractive.

And the recent US election has made them to comment on the social system and policy,which was a big change as we know Chinese people lack interest in politics / have a lack of interest in politics / know Chinese people are not politically minded. Compared with their parents, they have different points of views on America, as their parents appreciate America due to how free and advanced it is, but for young Chinese people, they have more chance / they have the ability / they are able to to learn about the world and find that China is fast growing and has a lot of opportunity for further personal development if you stay. So, most of them elect to go to school in America and come / go back / return to China for work. I am not sure what will happen in China and America in the coming years, but I am sure more and more young people will come to China as the market is attractive and will provide many opportunities for future generations.
