China is balanced between being a country steeped in historic values and cultures and a country in the middle of massive societal and economic changes. 2. Until recently - 90% of Chinese people's activities were conducted in public. In the U.S., these figures are reversed. With the introduction of the iPhone, tablets, etc., the Chinese are keeping more of their thoughts, ideas, actions private 3. History/significance of puppets - puppets have been traditionally used as a method for people to communicate with the gods. A second purpose in the last 1000 years is secular entertainment and drama.
