China says foreign organisations funded 'lying flat' influencers to undermine youth values
China's Ministry of State Security has accused foreign organisations of funding anti-China media and think tanks to promote the 'lying flat' lifestyle concept among Chinese youth. The ministry claims these organisations helped influencers create videos advertising that 'lying flat is justice' and 'anti-overwork is equivalent to anti-exploitation', with the intention of eroding perseverance among young people and undermining societal values.
