: how so?

Because you're just as likely to find an animal trapper looking for exotic 
animals, making monkeys and snakes fight, and making sculptures out of 
some substance most of us would find offensive in Guangdong as you would 
Gansu. Some people think the local cuisine is just as bad too. 

SARS started in Guangdong for a reason, folks, so if the Chinese are so 
concerned with modernizing Tibet...they should be just as concerned about 
the part of the country that is theirs sans dispute.
