Young Chinese turn to Mao Zedong amid economic slowdown
Original: Frustrated by a slowing economy, young Chinese turn to Mao Zedong for guidance
Frustrated by a slowing Chinese economy marked by weak job prospects and stagnant wages, young people in China are reportedly turning to the writings and teachings of Mao Zedong for guidance.

Why now: China's slowing economy and youth unemployment are driving renewed interest in Mao-era ideas among young people.
