The New China

“One day I heard a very well known Chinese artist telling he doesn´t like the new China. He was speaking about the demolitions policy. Every day we see modern alien towers beside the old neighborhoods. New cities built by the supreme economic criteria of a few ones wealth.

I do not reject market. It would be a cynical position. But market should be leaded by a big identity beyond the capitalism. Other wise China will be an extension of the great cultural and economic crisis of western world. And about that I think we can say something.”
