China exporting its tea drinking culture

CHINA'S TEA DRINKING CULTURE


Direct from the China National Tea Museum in Hangzhou, this interactive exhibition is the first of its kind to be showcased across the UK. Launching at Asia House, the exhibition will then go on tour to various locations across the UK.
The exhibition explores the long history and culture of tea as well as its health and medicinal qualities in both ancient times as well as in contemporary China today...BBC


The above article from BBC looks like China is not just exporting its people but more and more of its culture will be exported. This reminds me about the time when Great Britain was colonizing the rest of the world and attempted to export the English culture and all its do, to the rest of the world.


Today, China as a major superpower, is attempting to influence the rest of the world about its greatness and if successful, will rewrite a new world order.
