Sex Revolution Hits China Again

There is no secret that more nations today are facing population decline, owing to the economic shifts and political polarization around the world. China, one of the largest economies in the world, is facing much greater challenges, when it comes to demographical issue. According to the recent survey, fewer and fewer Chinese, especially women, believe in the value of marriages. Instead, they are looking for freedom in sex, and freedom in expressing their own desires. Is China ready for such revolution? How should we understand the current Chinese economic agenda, while youths are walking away from the traditional value?
