No merit to proposal

Do we need a place, which is representative of Chinese culture and where national level cultural rituals are held?

Possibly. But it is definitely ludicrous to believe that we can spend a huge sum building such a place, and then just designate it as a city with defining characteristics of Chinese culture.

A member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) at its plenary meeting on Sunday proposed the setting up a fund for the building of such a city and called for the fund to be included in the State budget.
