China is facing a serious problem: fewer babies are being born, and more people are getting older. In 2023, around 240 million people over age 15 were single. To fix this, the government is trying to encourage marriage and family life. One interesting trend that has come up is livestreamed video dating, where people join online group dates hosted by matchmakers. This is especially helpful for shy or introverted young people who find it hard to meet others in real life.

Finally, it shows state intervention in personal spheres, which reflects Foucault’s idea of biopolitics, where governments try to shape people's private choices to solve national problems like falling birthrates.

For example, a weaver who once made and sold handloom sarees in their village market now works under a corporate brand that controls the design, pricing, and sales, while the artisan earns only a small wage. Sociologically, this shows Karl Marx's theory of alienation, where workers lose control over their work and become disconnected from the product of their labor. It also reflects Max Weber’s concept of rationalization, where traditional, value-based practices are replaced by efficiency and profit-driven methods. While corporatization can bring market access and higher demand, it often erodes the artisan's independence, undervalues traditional knowledge, and turns cultural heritage into a commodity controlled by profit-seeking entities.
