The air is unbelievably polluted, the water is polluted, EVERYTHING is for sale, things that should be in museums. No, they won't care about Buddhist relics, they tore own most of their own. Do you want to see unfettered capitalism...go to China..they are turning their nothern parts into a desert and the air is unbreathable.
