On the brighter side, the "undeveloped" parts of China still
retains the same look and atmosphere as the past. Life is simple,
and people there are also less materialistic and more honest.
You look at Beijing. The government is tearing down old historical
houses to build high-rise buildings. The roads are choked with
traffic, and there is this constant haze that lingers around in the
city. This is the product of progress and development...
Some parts of China are resistant to changes, because the people
are scared that their own identity and heritage is destroyed by
development and globalisation. For example, the Chinese government
sees the completion of the railway to Tibet as an acheivement, but
the Tibetian people are worried that their own culture will be
diluted and lost when Tibet becomes much more accessible...
