It is kind of dumb for them to do that. As a tourist, I want to see Chinese culture.
I don't mind the ultra-modern shopping malls. But it is the ancient buildings and cultural sites that differentiate the place and draw in tourists.
I haven't seen the clips. But by the title and what was mentioned, I support Lik this time.
I felt pretty said when I visited Beijing. There are so many beautiful historic sites and architecture structures were destroyed. What left behind were the names only and pictures in libraries.
In fact, experts had recommended the leaders of CCP to establish its administration center and business hub at a different location when CCP took over China. So the Beijing city would have the old and new districts. The new districts would be free to be developed and the old districts would be preserved.
Unfortunately, the CCP leaders did not accept the recommendation and established their office and business center at Tiananmen square. I guess they probably wanted to have a feel of being an “emperor”.
