Culture is not about making money

Comment on "Dishonest beauty in pursuit of profit" (China Daily, Dec 26)

As usual it's another great piece by OP Rana. I've often ignored commenting on the so-called "Chinese culture industry" because I don't want to waste my time. In my opinion, the present Chinese "intellectual" pygmies are mostly shallow people who never understood either Western or Chinese culture. They exist to ape the West, and have taken monetary profit as the starting point of cultural production.
