“Lying Flat” is Making Beijing Anxious

Limited job opportunities and social resources make the competition for young people in modern China increasingly fierce. But there is a group of young people who think differently, they do not compete, will not get married, will not have a child, and will not buy a house. This is now popular among young people in China - the “lying flat” doctrine. With the rising popularity of the article, “Lying flat“ has gradually become popular among young people, and become a buzzword on the Chinese Internet. Although the article has been banned and removed from major forums by Chinese authorities, it is still spreading among the young people, who not only discuss how to “lie flat“ but also share their experiences on maintaining a “lying flat” life. #China #Buzzwords #Lyingflat #Lyingflatism #ThreeChildPolicy #PopulationCrisis
