No question, the Chinese communist party is a blight on the world...among many other govt's ...However, some of the ignorant comments of some of the people on this board are astonishing. As a Westerner, (Canada) it's tough to watch the world go in the direction it has. Humans, at the top of the food chain; we seem to thrive on waste and gluttony..For those to point fingers at Asian culture..( Shark fin soup), while we have Donald Trump junior stompin' around the globe blasting bullets into any rare critter just for sport...you cant help but wonder about the sense of hypocrisy...
Ten years ago, the world seem like a safer place...more unified and collaborative. Now we've got another dominant world leader with the manners of a teenage bully...
The world seems to be "going to hell in a handbasket"..Can't say I'm too excited for the prospects for my kids...

P.S. I too think cutting parts off of critters is extremely cruel and wasteful...just had to point out..those examples we have in the West arent much better...and when you have 1.4 million people to feed...its a different ballgame.
