Notre Dame is more famous now than it has ever been. A new chapter has just been added to its history. A building is just a building, the Chinese have been building replicas of pretty much every famous European landmark. They, like buildings, are probably even more imposing than the originals. But they don't have the same history of destruction and rebirth that the originals represent.
- analyst74 7y agoOh China has plenty history and destruction, just take one example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Summer_Palace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Summer_Palace It's a royal palace that was pillaged and burnt down, that would require unmeasurable amount of money to restore.
- eruci 7y agoOf course, I don't doubt that. Just saying that a building is more than just a building. China has its own historical landmarks. They also have an exact copy of the Norte Dame: https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/04/article/still-want-to-see-notre-dame-go-to-china/ https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/04/article/still-want-to-see-...
