Guest guest Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Asia Times Pallavi Aiyar Jan 31, 2006 It's a dog's life BEIJING - Many Chinese have seen their lives transformed by rocketing incomes, greater personal freedom and changes in family structure. But the people of China are not the only ones in the country affected by progress. The various contradictions resulting from China's struggle to balance centuries-old traditions with rapid modernization are shown by the unprecedented rise in the popularity of dogs as pets. Dogs are at present caught somewhere in an awkward middle ground between man's best friend and a comforting soup. It's a common sight to see pampered, manicured pooches frolicking with their doting owners just a few meters away from a restaurant where diners chow down on stewed dog meat.. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China_Business/HA31Cb05.html Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.
