Would you add your parents on WeChat? This has become one of the biggest questions facing young Chinese in an age of *unprecedented digital interconnectedness. In a poll conducted by the Huashang Bao newspaper in Xi’an, 17 of 40 young people polled said they have added their parents on WeChat, but 14 blocked them from seeing their “friends’ circles” -- a space where friends can share pictures and posts with one another. Of the 20 parents polled, 12 have added their children on WeChat but only could see his or her child’s *updates. The other 11 parents had been blocked by their kids from having access to their friends’ circles despite being able to send them messages on WeChat.
