China Southern Airlines warned against “uncivilized behaviors” with flying.

Sounds like US airlines need to warn all passengers here of the same thing.

Nope, Indians do not default to cannibalism.

People who have defaulted to cannibalism as a society in the 20th century.

China, Japan and the USSR.

The Dutch did it in the eighteenth century but there is reason to hope they have outgrown that trait.

The french did it in the nineteenth century I have my doubts about their growth.

Here is an interesting little factoid about Hainan, which forms the east side of the Gulf of Tonkin.

They have their own indigenous population called the Hiai, separate from the majority Han Chinese. As a result, they stayed neutral in the 1949 Chinese civil war. The Communists did not take control until the following year and many fled by boat to Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore along the gulf current.

The majority Han Chinese view them as second class citizens at best.

It was one of those odd things I happened to find out when studying the less fun part of the 20th century.

And then I got curious about how often supposedly civilized people just go nuts and start eating people.

That is a rabbit hole you should go down with a great deal of caution.

I can confidently state that the Royal Navy has the problem of cannibalism relatively under control, and that the Royal Air Force now suffers more casualties in the this area. And what do think Prince Harry and the Irish Guards were eating in Afghanistan, ration packs?
