Young Chinese Migrants - Compressed Individual and Global Condition

In China less-qualified young migrants are living in subaltern condition and young migrants graduates have strongly internalised the idea of being the "heroes". Young internal and international migrants from China produce through top-dow and bottom-up globalisation. The young Chinese migrant incarnates the Global Individual, what we labeled here as the Compressed Individual.
