Being the loneliest, the most rebellious or globally minded, China's post-00s generation is getting more and more attention at home and abroad.

The generation, born between 2000 and 2010, also carries the expectation of what China would be, and could be in the future, as they will be the major consumers, voters and workers of China's periodic plan to "basically realize socialist modernization" from 2020 to 2035.

The adjectives they mostly choose for themselves are open-minded, confident and independent, according to a report by the China Youth Daily and the country's Internet service giant Tencent earlier in May.

In the survey, 48 percent said they will solve problems themselves, and 25.6 percent revealed they will turn to the internet.

The survey organized by the All-China Students' Federation collected information from over 12,700 questionnaires answered by post- millennials, and also from big data gathered from users of Tencent's social network platform QQ, which has up to 783 million monthly active users.

"We are not scared of being different and that's how we were raised," a 17-year-old male student surnamed Jin, told the Global Times.
