Why is it important?
To help readers understand that it is NOT culture but China's development politics that is responsible for wildlife protection failure.
Perspectives
It is important to understand that laws and regulations in China are for advancing the Party-state's political objectives. China's wildlife protection law has an inherent flaw, that is seeing wildlife as a resource for human use. When that use helps advance the Party-state's political objectives, that use is tolerated even though it might violate laws.
