Copycat 'Shanzhai' culture takes on life of its own in China
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-12-30 21:52 Tian Huiqun, a professor at the College of Art and Communication of Beijing Normal University, said the concept of "Shanzhai" started in the business world and thus the "Shanzhai" culture has a commercial aspect. She said that the "Shanzhai" culture never copies classic things, only trendy products. In that sense, she said, it's like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning. "If we were too tolerant of such 'culture' ... the culture of [true] innovation would be even harder to develop," she said. Though controversial, "Shanzhai" culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon. To mainstream culture, the rise of "Shanzhai" culture was a challenge as well as a stimulus, said Xie, according to the newspaper. Tian said various cultures developing together was an ideal situation and it was for the public to choose, the newspaper said.
