China: Where is Bart Simpson?

Categories: East Asia, China, Ideas, Youth

Not Only Movies blogger Raymond Zhou has a post today which articulates a need for more Bart Simpson types in China: cynical youth willing to consider that sometimes authorities and elders can be wrong [1].

“What we sorely need,” Zhou writes in ‘Youth facing dilemma of role models‘, “is a culture of ‘respectfully disagreeing,’ ensuring that respecting and challenging authorities can coexist in the same person.”
