Santiago de Chile to build new Chinatown district

 A project to build a new Chinatown district in the Chilean capital will be carried out with donations from Chinese businesses in the area, Santiago’s mayor Felipe Alessandri said on Saturday.
“The idea is to bring it closer to reality … we have to help it (Chinatown) conform and give it a typical Oriental feel,” said Alessandri.
Xu Yiping, representative of Chinese businesses and key planner of the project, told Xinhua his intention is to build a beautiful Chinese district, so that local shopkeepers can work there with dignity and security.
The project, presented this week to the Santiago Municipal Council, includes the construction of two “paifang” gates, which will mark the entrances and welcome visitors.
Signages will be put up in Spanish and Chinese while typical designs from China’s millennial artworks will adorn roofs, sidewalks and lights.
The Chinatown will be spread out more than 550 meters, starting in Alameda, Santiago’s main thoroughfare, and ending in Gorbea street, an area where dozens of Chinese shops already exist.

    First I will thaught about the bad things. This are that the Chinese people can invade the original culture like the Chilean in this case. And other is that this people will remove the Chileans of their work, and could be very bad for the Chilean worker. The good things are that this helps fighting agains the discrimination and
    is a good way to help the Chinese. Also this can improve the productivity of the work of this peolple and can have an important job in the economy of the country.
