"Many people in their 20s and 30s grumble that hard work no longer rewards them with a better quality of life."
I think the Economist is confusing China with the USA. This is how people in the USA feel, not people in China. China just eliminated extreme poverty and its people have continually been getting richer. Meanwhile people in the USA have been steadily getting poorer since the 1970s.
The Economist has been predicting China's failure for decades now and it hasn't happened yet. Maybe it never will. And maybe the publication that was originally founded in the 19th century to promote slavery in America and opium into China is just full of shit.
