Lonely Chinese kids drawn to the internet

One of the reasons for the popularity of the internet among China's youngsters is the one-child policy, says William Bao Bean in a video made by Thomas Crampton.
Growing up in a one-child household makes Chinese children lonely and keen to connect, hence the obsessive use of the Internet by China’s young generation. Chinese, Bean says in this 2-minute video, are much more likely to connect with people than their counterparts in other nations.
William Bao Bean, partner at the Softbank China & India Holdings, is also a speaker at Chinabiz Speakers. If you want to retain him as a speaker, do drop me a line.
