How should China's fresh graduates think about their career prospects in such a challenging environment?

With youth unemployment at record highs across Mainland China, and companies freezing hiring—or even firing—staff, the latest crop of college graduates is entering one of the roughest job markets in recent history.

The unemployment rate for 16- and 24-year-olds in urban areas hit a record 21.3 percent in June.

Many of the more resilient, successful business are started in recessionary environments. The better ideas win out.
It's time for them to get out and create.

2008-2012 was just as awful. My message: the economy always bounces back, you simply need to remain patient.

Yeah it will bounce back. They always talk about a lost generation. But I think the tough times will help you in the rest of your career

There are jobs - posted by Gasty recently - that are completely remote. In case you have good command on English language, there are a few entry level jobs that one can look at, staying out of China and working for companies overseas.
I know it's a difficult process, but one can always try their luck out.
in TSU as well - you should get good understanding of processes and working of companies overseas.

Considering the demographic decline China is facing... soon enough there will be a desperate need for workers.
Gotta survive the real estate market collapse in China, and all of the fallout from that first though.
I graduated from my Bachelor's program into one of the toughest job markets in US history - It was slow out of the gate but within 5 years things leveled out.

Easier said than done in China but, how about creating a business? Or remote work?
