As usual, we have been spending far too much time on social media, watching endless videos and scrolling for days.
One thing that keeps on coming up is people talking about ‘Chinamaxxing’.
This all about Gen Z celebrating and recognising their Chinese technology and Chinese brands…and then choosing to use more of these Chinese-made products than they have before. But it’s going further than that. It’s now a trend to embody a supposed ‘Chinese’ lifestyle.
