No. This is how some people in the Western media would answer this question.

As recommended by my CIMA study materials, I started to read the Financial Times for current financial knowledge and today I came across a report titled China’s angry youth vent their feelings.

The most interesting thing I found about this report is that, Jamil Anderlini, the writer tries very hard to understand why fenqings should think and behave so in all the fuss associated with the Olympic torch relay, but arrives at an ill-informed conclusion.
