Former FT in China - 2016-11-02

China[edit]
Tianjin University has been building "love tents" to accommodate parents who have traveled there with their matriculating freshmen, letting them sleep on mats laid out of the gym floor. Commentators on social media have argued that the one-child policy has been an aggravating factor in the rise of helicopter parenting (see Little Emperor Syndrome).[11]

I think 'helicopter parents' are worthy of praise for looking out for their sons and daughters.

As for 'love tents', make of them what you will!
