Bejing
The Oroqen tribe is slowly being assimilated into Chinese society. They better watch out because in an attempt to assimilate they are losing a culture forever. And people will complain for years to come. Just as they do in the US. In my opinion we did nothing wrong and I wouldn’t take it back. But what we failed to do was recognize them for who they are. And failed to let them keep their culture and if China follows down this path.. And I say let them make up their own mind. Its not the governments job to decide how people should conduct their daily lives. That is very vague so let me clarify. Laws need to exist to keep the peace but for a group of people who have their own ways of living let them do that, As long as it doesn’t violate the national law. They need not attempt to force people to change who they are so that it fits the norm. if they are being forced to do something they will act out. Just as they are doing in the mountains by poaching. Hunting is their way of life and taking that away is like taking away their oxygen.
