or balanced against the concerns of European actors.This framing implicitly favors the European perspective, portraying China’s rules more as an obstacle than a legitimate policy goal.

In this context, luxury goods become more than just products - they become tools for survival in a society where appearance is closely linked to opportunities. What's interesting about this article is the way it describes young people's choices. It presents them as a response to external pressures -

This logic (that the state is more important than the rights of individuals) justifies the erasure of languages, cultures and entire traditions in the name of "conformity”.
