Worldwide, globalization contributes to the \textit{flattening} of the `airport atmosphere' posited by Warhol. Fueled by a recent economic growth and the opening of its markets to the West, China, more than any other country, is certainly subject to such flattening effect. The infiltration of the global, networked mobilities into China's infrastructure is evident. The spirit in which the new Beijing terminal was designed and built, in light of the 2008 Olympic Games, fully reflects such dynamics. PEK T3 boasts 64 Western and Chinese restaurants, including a Burger King, many luxury shops and even a massage parlor\cite{newyorker}.
Many components that define the `airport atmosphere' are present. Expensive cappuccinos and high-end perfume stores have landed at the new Beijing terminal via the airways of globalization.
