Critical Issues Interview | Why Chinese Women are Resisting Xi’s Call to Reproduce – Professor Susan Greenhalgh

In this interview for the Critical Issues Confronting China Series, Professor Susan Greenhalgh, John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Research Professor of Chinese Society, Emerita, talks about the Chinese Communist Party’s new family policy and why Chinese women are resisting Xi Jinping’s call to return to traditional family norms and roles. She points out that many of China’s educated young women, faced with “rampant sexism,” are focused on achieving individual goals and rejecting childbearing—and even marriage.
