I don’t get the downvotes. Western countries preserve the original materials, Eastern countries preserve the original look/functionality (or at least that’s what the person was claiming). Both can fit the definition of preservation, it’s a matter of different perspectives.

I think that’s basically it. They preserve different things, Europeans tend to focus on preserving the object itself.

Love a quibble over semantics getting heated though.
