Have a cry. Chinese eat anything, it's hardly world breaking news.

They even dredge the gutters and drains for waste oils and reuse them for human consumption.

I'm surprised it took this long for something like this to happen.

Yes, I've been to China...

Food preparation at its best but you also wouldn't want to be a baby chicken.

**Sigh** - Just curious, have you been to the real China? I'm not talking about your posh hotel room you stayed in when you last visited. Not talking about the civilised Chinese restaurants you dined in close to your posh hotel, or the 'Chinese food' you ordered as room service.

You only have to travel a couple of hours outside any of the major Chinese cities to see the real China, and the Chinese delicacies available to be purchased - if you know where to go. I have video recorded my experiences on my phone. It's disgusting - to say the least.

And yes, I have been to China. Many times.

Spot on. After spending a month in China backpacking around on my own I came back a different person.

I also got into many, MANY heated arguments with other people who said it was NOTHING like I described and had a wonderful time on their nice package deal tour where they are bused to and from the airport and wrapped in cotton wool and protected their entire trip.

Yes, of course they had a wonderful time, they never had to buy tickets for public transport, exchange money, buy their own food, arrange emergency accommodation, ask for help, catch a taxi / rickshaw / bus / train or deal with the general scamming public...

A few years ago Amanda Vanstone was based there, she did a radio interview where she says 'The Chinese are very much like us, they have barbecues on the weekend and know how to mingle and have a good laugh'...

Yeah... right. I actually emailed the radio and they read out some of what I had to say. Some called in to agree, some called in to disagree.

I compare many Mainland Chinese to the Beverly Hillbillies, where they went from poor and third world to rich and prosperous within the one generation and don't have the ability to bring their mentality into the more modern world.

Look at the many tourist videos of how they behave outside their country. They act like they have no rules or boundaries and lack even basic common sense, courtesy and compassion.

As for food. They have a great pleasure in eating still living animals with not an ounce of feeling that it's not right.

Even cooking animals while still alive and trying to keep them alive as long as possible while being cooked and even eaten.

Just last week I saw a video of a 'man' eating a pile of baby live mice. Dipping them into sauce and eating them whole while smiling to the camera.

Any normal person would never consider such an abhorrent act yet he went to a restaurant it seems that serves this 'dish'... I would have loved to have bitten a chunk out of his arm and asked him if he knew that was right or wrong.

Same place that mixed melamine powder into baby formula for goodness sake probably because melamine powder was cheaper than milk powder by the ton...

I even dated a Chinese girl for several months. The chip on her shoulder and severe superiority complex it possessed made me sick, always right, never wrong and just concerned about making money and profit above all else - at any cost.

Sorry if this offends, my boss is Chinese and nothing like what I described above (quite the opposite actually) I also acknowledge that there are many mainland Chinese that are not like described above but so many more don't do their own culture any favours.

This issue revolves around food preparation and consumption. Don't google too much into their practices, you will not like what you find and wish you could 'un-see' and 'un-hear' what they get up to there.

And just remember, most consider it 'normal'.....

Hell, one of the first doctors that tried to alert the public of Carona was arrested and charged for causing public disorder and even made to apologise. How dare he go against the status quo...

Yep, I'm guessing you are referring to this doctor...

He is now dead. The cynic in me says it was no accident.

Yes, that poor soul.

Interestingly an acquaintance of mine who is Chinese mentioned the same thing, they're being westernised but they're not picking up the good traits and are becoming profit hungry monsters, Chinese people are traditionally honourable and respectful people but it's fallen by the wayside with picking up the terrible parts of westernisation putting the mighty spondoolies above all else.

Interestingly one of my mates went to Cambodia recently and mentioned how ridiculous the Chinese people there are, they're exploiting the locals and acting holier than thou, they wouldn't take a photo for him 'me Chinese, me Chinese' - they are above everyone else

Personally I don't like their cuisine and have trust issues over how they handle food.

My wife has. She says even the 'normal' food looked and tasted pretty horrible. Hygiene was almost non existent. She ended up eating KFC as much as possible because it was the most appetizing food she could find half the time.

I still tell her it stands for Kentucky Fried Cat over there.

Western fast food is the saving grace in these countries for a lot of people...

At least they have a menu you are somewhat familiar with and expect there to be some minimal standards they must abide by.

As an aside to the culinary discussion, it appears Chinese industrial output has stopped (good charts):

Staggering. For our older members, have you ever seen anything like this in your lifetimes?

Geeze......

Really puts things into perspective.

With around half a billion people in lock down their economy is doomed.

You can only imagine what is happening on the streets there....

How long before the ripple effect reaches us?

12-18 months is the prediction on a cure, it seems right now the survivors are getting over it naturally or on experimental concoctions of drugs.

I wonder what will be the end result? Much could have been averted if the government didn't act so 'Chinese'.

Government is in PR damage control... what will be supreme leader Xi Jinping's next steps???
