I read an article about a riot in China. The short article its self gave a lot of insight into Chinese culture. Every year there is a huge celebration in the streets. Many people come to see the dancing dragons and fireworks. The celebration is very important in Chinese culture. It brings people together and is enjoyed by all ages. At the time there was a lot of social unrest in china as well. At one of the celebrations this year the fire works fell down on the spectators. It caused chaos and a riot broke out. The celebrations were then banned for safety purposes, but many people believed it was to tighten control of the citizens.
This article tells us about the different aspects of culture in China. It showed some of their celebrations. It also told us about the unrest in China and hoe there are a lot of strikes and revolts. Lastly it also showed how the government is stricter than the american government. I like reading about different cultures and i think it is interesting to learn about the differences and similarities.
