This announcement elicited decision on Chinese social media, with some users on Weibo accusing the government of \u201cburying its head in the sand\u201d. Indeed, the announcement comes at a critical juncture when the unemployment rate for 16- to 24-year-olds in urban areas hit a record high of 21.3%. However, instead of addressing the drastically worsening youth unemployment, the government has chosen to stonewall the issue."}
