Communist Youth League Of China Is Holding Mass Blind Dates
Posted on July 18, 2017
GLOBAL TIMES – July 17 – The Communist Youth League of China (CYLC) has been helping China's young singletons find life partners by holding mass blind date events. Tens of thousands of singletons attend a blind dating event in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on June 25. While many welcome the CYLC's new role, some other questions whether it is intervening too much in people's private lives. The attendees mostly come from government organizations, State-owned companies and colleges. These people have guaranteed jobs for life, also known as the "iron rice bowl." In the blind dating market, people with permanent jobs generally have an edge over those working in private companies.
