Cultural Globalization Influence On Chinese Culture

The Influence of Cultural Globalization on Chinese Culture
As Yu(2008) says, globalization represents a worldwide transformation of historical significance. Based on worldwide economic integration, globalization is characterized by intrinsic, inseparable, and intensified interrelations across the globe.

The most important part is to keep our own national spirit. National spirit is the pillar of a country, and I consider it’s also the origin of its culture. For Chinese spirit, it includes aggressiveness, patriotism, dictation, and the spirit of innovation and so on. These are good things that need to be inherited and carried forward.
