What do you think of setting up a Japanese-style street in Dalian and being spit out by netizens?

Many of us like foreign cultures very much. For example, many people may like British gentleman culture, American Indian culture, French perfume culture, Italian luxury jewelry culture and so on. After all, we all need to constantly broaden our thinking and horizons, learn more about the differences in the world and appreciate the beauty of foreign cultures, so as to continuously enrich our horizons and increase our knowledge. That's understandable. However, on August 25th this year, a cultural project named "Dalian Japanese Style Street" was strongly opposed by netizens, which caused an uproar for a time.

This street is built in the bustling business district of downtown Dalian, modeled after the "Kyoto" commercial street in Tokyo, Japan. It is said that the building system is dominated by Japanese-style streets and shops, supplemented by the Tang-style architectural model, and mainly promotes Japanese culture to the people of Dalian and Tang Wenhua, so as to achieve "mutual integration of Chinese and Japanese cultures". But for this statement, the majority of netizens said that they could not understand it at all. First of all, Dalian is close to Lushun. A Japanese street was built next to a city that was once ravaged by Japan. I wonder if the local developers have considered the ideas of the bullied China compatriots and their descendants in the process of building it. Secondly, although this street is not only for selling Japanese products, judging from the nature of the street, people wear kimonos and sell Japanese products, and the promotion of Japanese culture is really "in place", but where is the promotion of China culture? Where is the culture of the Tang Dynasty reflected? Third, many online celebrities even wear kimonos to punch cards in this street, where there are endless guests. Has this hurt the feelings of many people in China?

Of course, we don't reject Japanese culture. Many people like watching Japanese movies and eating Japanese food. This is understandable, but is the establishment of Japanese streets somewhat insulting to our own culture? Many people ask, there are Chinatown abroad, why can't China build Japanese Street? What you need to know is that Chinatown was built spontaneously by China people to facilitate the life of our compatriots in China, not by any country. We will never see Japanese Street in America or German Street in Russia. Why can you tolerate such an easy-to-understand truth in China? Imagine if the hero of our country returned to Dalian and saw a Japanese street wearing a Japanese kimono and eating Japanese food. What would they think? What's the point of their efforts? What do you think of this?
