Okay, let's clear one little bit up. There are no more shoalin temples. What is going on nowadays in China are 'marketing' manuevers by talented wushu practitioners. Frankly, the Chinese government would not stand for a rebirth of such.

Can someone elaborate on why the Chinese government doesnt want Shaolin to come back?

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. When you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup; when you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle; when you put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow- or it can crash. Be water my friend. ~Bruce Lee

As any government, the goal is self-preservation. Both the study of war arts and religions are threats to a government's dominance and longevity.

May i recommend studying this for an insight into China, as it was, and as the base for its obstacles to change into free enterprise.

one of my good friends great grandfathers fought in the boxer rebellion against the germans and the british and his grandfather told him all sorts things that happened during the mao takeover (like all the monks in there village including his brother being hung for refuseing to be relocated) he also said that during the mao takeover that martial arts where not to be practiced and if a communist saw you practiceing tai chi you would be beaten, and if they saw you worshiping they would throw you in jail.
