Seemed a little shallow to me and focused on a small slice of the Chinese population born between 1981 and 1996 (a widely-accepted birth year range for "millenials").

During those years, there was almost no Chinese middle class. All the growth in China's urban middle class happened well after 1996.

Even with that growth, they're still greatly outnumbered by rural and working class families, whose millenial children are likely quite different from what's described in the article.

This felt like an article describing American "hipsters" who are nowhere close to a majority of their birth cohort.
