Poll: More young people say country changing for better

More young Chinese believe their country is changing for the better and identify with its development path, a recent survey says.

The study by China Youth Daily and the Communist Youth League of China Central Committee found that 92.9 percent of young people surveyed think China is heading in the right direction, compared with 89.9 percent in 1998.

The Survey on Young Chinese, conducted in mid-November to mark the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, says only 0.6 percent think the country is getting worse, down from 1.2 percent 20 years ago.
