It is quite unbelievable sometimes how people are so unwilling to accept change.
There is an ongoing controversy about multinational brands entering the Tibetan area of China. Apparently, the Olympic torch will be brought all the way to Tibet and Tibetans are going on a protest saying that the Olympic torch which symbolizes the Olympics with its Western sponsors may corrupt the very essence of the Tibetan way of life.
With the Olympics comes tourism and with its sponsors come investment which will help the Chinese economy. So what’s the deal?
There is nothing wrong with hanging on to tradition and the classical way of life… but should you stop change as well? Even if it’s for the country’s benefit?
China used to be called the sleeping Giant. It is a giant but it is not sleeping anymore…. And some of its people are trying to stop it from getting up because of fear…. Fear of change…
