The New Red Guards
China is in the throes of a new revolution, characterised by wealth and consumption, but even 30 years after the Cultural Revolution came to an end the state continues to impose limits on these freedoms.
"The whole Kennedy thing about 'Don't ask what your country can do for you'? That's not going to fly with this generation," explains Hung Huang, one of China's most influential creative entrepreneurs. "They're only asking what everybody can do for them." The Chinese have started taking matters into their own hands, dismissing socialist values and embracing capitalism. A new affluent generation is pioneering a revolution, and there's little the state can do to stop it. "People have money... people want to spend and they want to have a good time," explains Huang. "You have to allow them otherwise you are going to have a very unpopular government or you have a very unhappy people."
