The overwhelming majority of British young people voted to stay in the EU, but their voices didn't carry the day in last week's referendum. Big protests are planned for Trafalgar Square.

The Brexit vote could complicate the lives of European Union citizens working in the United Kingdom. And politicians who supported the Brexit now seem to be backsliding on anti-immigrant pledges.

The Brexit vote was largely divided along generational lines, with older voters wanting to leave the European Union. A conversation overheard on the London Underground illustrates this beautifully.

Britain's vote to leave the European Union may have shocked the financial markets and political elites, but supporters of Brexit in Romford, a working class area of London, are triumphant.

Britons are casting ballots in a referendum on whether the U.K. should leave the European Union. A vote to leave would have profound political and economic consequences for Great Britain and the EU.

With its anti-immigrant rhetoric and talk of unfair trade, the pro-Brexit campaign shares themes with Donald Trump's presidential run in the U.S.

The United Kingdom's cultural makeup has shifted many times through the centuries, but for some struggling in England, the latest changes are coming too fast.

As United Kingdom voters prepare to vote on whether to remain in the European Union, President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping both think leaving is a bad idea for the economy.

NPR's Frank Langfitt describes the massive change he's witnessed in China over nearly two decades and the crossroads the nation now faces.

How has reporting in China changed over the two decades? As people have become more open and sophisticated, the government has become more repressive.

China is now home to two economies — one fading and industrial, and the other, a more thriving service sector. A steelworker, a Starbucks executive and a former banker explain.

The $5 billion Shanghai company was the third financial firm to collapse in China since December. "Every time I take a bite of food," says an investor who lost everything, "I feel I am wasting money."

China plans to open its first overseas military base in the African country of Djibouti. It's the same place where the U.S. has had its major African intelligence gathering base for the last 15 years.

China's aggressive moves in the South China Sea have angered neighbors and the U.S. Some Chinese back their government on this nationalistic issue, but their answers are surprisingly mixed.

Retired American diplomat Tess Johnston, 84, made a second career working to preserve the rich colonial architecture of Shanghai.

A nocturnal journey with a pair of Americans who wrote Shanghai Nightscapes, a book covering the raucous past, the abrupt disappearance and the eventual rebirth of nightlife in the city.

China's economy is struggling. The currency and stock market are down. Growth continues to slow. Yet in Shanghai, people are scrambling to buy apartments even as prices soar. Why?

Last summer, a Chinese-American woman contacted NPR's Frank Langfitt with an unusual request: to help find her troubled sister, who'd vanished in southwest China. A difficult journey followed.

A woman has gone missing in the mountains of southwest China. Her American sister, an NPR listener, recruits Shanghai Correspondent Frank Langfitt to help find her as part of his free taxi series, "Streets of Shanghai."

In China, people generally find Donald Trump's rhetoric way over the top. They are, however, wary of Hillary Clinton because of her past, get-tough-on-China policies.
