From everyday convenience and living costs to real-life pressures and constantly changing expectations, what is life really like in China today? When big-picture topics boil down to daily moments, questions from around the world become concrete and relatable: Can you really order food at 3 a.m.? Can your smartphone take you around the entire country? Are public schools affordable? Is healthcare expensive? And are young people really opting out of the rat race, choosing serenity over the trappings of status? In this episode of "Ask China," CGTN's Wang Tao takes these questions to the streets of Beijing, where locals share their experiences, offering an honest look at daily life in a fast-changing Chinese society.
