China’s ‘Rotten-tail kids’

About this episode

This has become the buzzy phrase to describe the plight of a generation of college graduates in China. Locked out of the jobs market in a spluttering economy, they are going online with memes. Host Carmel Crimmins and Greater China Bureau Chief Kevin Krolicki look at the future consequences of this “lost generation.” Plus, we hear about the humanoid robots that could soon be cheaper to hire than graduates.
