What the Chinese Want
Foreign Policy Passport have unearthed the top search terms for Baidu’s question service–those “why do …” or “how to …” queries. This is interesting because it directly answers the questions “What do Chinese people want to do?” and “What are Chinese people interested in?”
Here are the results, by category into a few different classifications:
Just like everyone else, the Chinese are looking to solve scientific and technological problems, find love online, improve their business, or wallow in despair. The 27% of queries that challenge established Chinese tradition are also interesting–most focus around the long march, the Confucian tradition of the classics, or test-taking.
But, it’s the Love queries that are the most cute:
- Why do we love?
- Why get married?
- How to get pregnant?
- How to kiss?
- What is love?
- What is happiness?
- Should I have a child?
- Should I see an “internet friend” in person?
- Should I get married?
Hopefully everyone will have the chance to find the answers to these questions!
