While the country’s economic recovery has started to gain momentum, with growth rebounding to 4.5% in the first quarter after pandemic restrictions were lifted earlier this year, youth unemployment remains a persistent sore point.

Instead of offering jobs, the Chinese government urged graduates to take other menial jobs involving “manual labor,” according to Tibet Press. They blame unemployed college graduates for the soaring unemployment rate, accusing them of refusing to give up their career aspirations and take up manual labor.

Last month, the Communist Youth League criticized young graduates for sticking to their career aspirations, accusing them of refusing to “tighten the screws of the factory” and admonishing contemporary generations to “take off their suits, roll up their sleeves and go to the fields”.

A WeChat rebuttal to the Communist Youth League was liked by asking its author if he was “willing to give up his current position and salary to become a cleaner.”

Meanwhile, the Chinese government’s propaganda machine is spreading false stories on social media about people earning big money in non-white-collar jobs, according to Tibet Press. (Arnie)
