Today there is no doubt that the nature of Chinese society is markedly similar to that of the society of the Mao era and even the Deng Xiaoping era. Many attribute this change to the reform and opening up that occurred in China under Deng Xiaoping. The emergence of the Internet, along with sociological changes, has created a China that is closely comparable to US society. This article will discuss how society has changed through various topics such as migration, dating, media, youth, and religion. Furthermore, what factors caused these changes and why? Chinese Migration As a result of economic development, China's third wave migration of wealthy families emigrating to the United States and other Western countries has increased. It seemed that China's richer countries were giving a vote of no confidence in China. The departure of the nouveau riche westward suggested that the social environment had worsened. Red capitalism refers to an individual who does not belong to the family of a communist party-state official, that individual must create a special relationship with a powerful official to make his business activity profitable. This chapter from "Restless China" by Perry Link discusses the case of the hotel business and states that for a business value to have potential it must be controlled by a public official. This would allow the public official to collude with the manager to abuse public assets, including financial returns, in order to maximize his or her personal gain. The hotel industry is not that profitable, however coal mining is. China has the largest coal mining industry in the world, and a significant portion of the richest people in China own or operate coal mines. The involvement of law enforcement personnel in illegal money-making activities... medium of paper... internet and other technologies, coupled with urbanization and the abandonment of the Danwei system, have led to a more independent youth culture. These factors are also concurrent with reform and opening up to Western influences. Without these influences and innovations, it would be difficult for Chinese people today to express their grievances about environmental policy, corruption in the education system, and other social issues such as the one-child policy. It remains to be seen in the future how the Communist Party will adhere to communist ideals, while at the same time allowing capitalism and democratic values ​​to take over its society.
