"We must stop the commercialization of ethnic arts while reconstructing earthquake-hit areas."
Nima Tsering, a CPPCC member and deputy director of the Sichuan Research Institute of Culture and History, warned that many ethnic arts are being developed into mere tourist products during the reconstruction work in Sichuan. Commercialization is dangerous for ethnic art, he added.
