The Word China's 'Cockroach' Protests Missed Can Be Found in India The protests unfolding at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi are often described as a manifestation of frustration with India's education system.
However, they represent something more profound: the erosion of the value placed on qualifications by young people. This phenomenon is mirrored in China, which has been grappling with it for years.
The Chinese have even coined a term for this crisis – "zhongke" or "cockroach," referring to the idea that education and employment are disconnected.
