Why is China so stubborn in this? What do they want to accomplish by trying to wipe out their heritage? To me it just seems mean, selfish and extraordinary. Saving face means admitting to mistakes and making up for it....so China wants to keep insisting on what? That its ok to dominate people who cant fight back? WHY would that make sense to anyone?
Quoting: Scully 6627492. What do they want to accomplish by trying to wipe out their heritage?
Chinese people are not trying to wipe out Heritage. They are still there and at present more and more people emphasize on it. Time is changing, ecomomy is changing, culture is changing., some culture is fading, some is kept, some is changed to another way, some leave there. This is just a society / country / history moving process. When a new things come out, people always in a proess like: argue, accept whole or abandon whole, accept part or abandon part.....
For example, in 80s, China just open up, the western culture and idea flood in China. People argue them fiercely, some think that is better than our traditional culture, some said that is so bad, we must still keep as before. After some years, now you can see that, Chinese accept some new things from outside, also keep our own things, people accept the good one, abandon the bad one. That's all.
Why you can not understand so simple thing? WHY?
