Will Beijing Be The Creative Capital?

The latest buzz word from China is "creative industries" which is defined as "individual creativity, skills and talent that generate wealth, increase employment, and improve the overall living environment". Commercially this includes advertising, architectural art, artworks, antiques, fashion design, films, interactive software, music, performing arts, publishing, and television and radio broadcast. Also included is tourism, museums, art galleries, cultural heritage and sports. Sports? I wonder what the Cowboys would think if they were lumped in with the arts.

Could China redefine what is art?
