The fuckers are now trying to normalize the Miramar site - the Taidong govt held a concert there over Tomb-sweeping long-weekend - with massive fire-works.

Normalize is right. Get people there, celebrate with the building. Form happy memories with the building. Probably a lot of children there. They're not stupid. And it works. They'll do this a few more times, a couple more years, then that building is now part of people's happy memories. How can they tear it down?

Here's my nightmare scenario - which looks likely to come true: Miramar is converted into a conference centre for ... THE Experts.

Exactly. That's exactly what will happen. It will be a conference center, a nature 'museum'.
