Globalization effecting Chinese Culture
One of the major positive impacts of globalization on the Chinese culture is that of ethics and economy. The Chinese economy has been one of the most flourishing economies after the world experienced globalization.
It has also given a new dimension to the trade of china and due to globalization, more goods which are a part of the Chinese culture are being sent to the markets all over the world which not only earns them foreign exchange but also gives people some awareness about the heritage of china. Another aspect is that of diversification which has had a positive impact on the Chinese culture giving new ways and options to perform certain tasks.
Apart from the many positive effects, globalization has also had some negative effects. One major effect which has hit the Chinese nation is that people are adopting western culture as their own and are more inclined to western cultural heritage. Yun Li, a researcher from the China Academy of Social Sciences said Modernization does not mean Westernization or turning everything into Han culture.
The education is also a part of the culture and the education system of china is also being affected by inclusion of new courses and curriculums which have taken the place of traditional Chinese curriculum. Clothing, which is also an integral part of a culture, is also being changed as people are preferring clothes such as jeans and t shirts, while the original culture of china lays stress on wearing cheongsams and coats etc. Another major affect is that on the food of china. Chinese people have their own taste of food and eatables but the aspect of globalization has developed a taste for cheese as many global fast food restaurants are taking place of traditional Chinese restaurants.
