NTDChinaUncensored·Published on Apr 19, 2013
Party officials officials have tearing down people's homes and selling the land to developers for years, but now they've taken it one step further. In Xi'an City, the plan is to knock down parts of a 1,300-year-old temple so they can build a souvenir shop. It would effectively make the temple just a money making tourist trap and forcing the monks to leave. But this temple houses the bones of Xuanzang, the famed monk from Journey to the West. And while in Journey to the West, he had the Monkey King Sun Wukong on his side, now he has the people of China fighting to protect him and the cultural heritage of China.

See, if this was America the people would never let them do something like this to one of their sacred sites. Like the City of Faith, home of the 900 foot Jesus vision, or the CBN studios that Pat Robertson said Jesus saved from a hurricane, or the Creation Museum and theme park down in Kentucky, or even Wall Street's own St. Patrick's Cathedral, one of the 911 building survivors that didn't fall for some reason.
- Well, not unless they could also setup a fracking operation or at least a tar sand pipeline.....

You are really, really looking to take the title of "tacky money grubbers" away from America, aren't you? Have fun.
