Actually, China has been razing traditional hutongs for a while now to make room for modern communities. It would be like Canadian cities having houses/neighbourhoods from another era complete with blacksmith shops, horses, shared bathrooms for an entire street and burning wood and coals in inefficient fireplaces for heat. Might create a special tourist area for it, but like Beijing, Canadian cities would never allow it. The people of Canada would be embarrassed by it as are most Chinese who want traditional hutongs gone.
