China: cultural critique on consuming Christmas

Categories: East Asia, China, Arts & Culture, Religion

Zhao mu re-posts an open letter written by10 PhD students in China (all from top univeristy) which criticized the celebration of Christmas in China. The students suggest government to ban and discourage advocation and promotion of Christmas consumption by education department and commercial sectors in order to preserve “Chinese cultural subjectivity” (zh) [1]. (The arguement is very odd to me but it is something new.)
