CNN on China: Young, angry ... and wired

CNN's Kristie LuStout writes that:

"On May 4 in 1919, students in Beijing launched a nationwide movement against imperialism and a government that had failed to stand up to the West and Japan."

"More than 80 years later, a new generation in China is flexing its nationalist muscle. Its members are still stoked by hostility toward Japan, but now they're powered by laptops and high-speed broadband."

"About 100 million people are wired to the Internet in China. More than half are male, and under the age of 25."
