haha this is ridiculous. but typical in china. where nobody gives a fcuk about anything except for money. this is disgusting.

It is more and more apparent every day,the corrupt communist goverment officials are a bunch of super perverts and since beijing restricted the corrupt officials from spreading their corrupt perversion to other countries where they spent millions of the Chinese citizens money for prostitutes and alcohol,now the corrupt communist goverment will tear down a two thousand year old temple to make a SPA for the filthy perverted corrupt communist officials to expand their perversion in china,with the poor Chinese peoples money,while the whole time,they kick Buddhism in the stomach,to shack up their whores in a place of worship to corruption and perversion,and the only enlightenment will be to their beastliness perversion,and theft of more money.China’s corrupt communist goverment lied again about protecting Buddhist temples,as usual,I hope the world takes notice to the continual lies from beijing.
