“Chinese culture is beautiful too”
I just love the way they throw dogs alive into boiling water before they eat them. It’s so artistic.
Been to China for work many times. Studied the language years ago in college.
I have heard of both eating dog and other things that we would not consider palatable, but have NEVER heard of anyone in China or Korea boiling dogs alive.

Dljordan I am as un-politically correct as they come, but just as the lamestream media favors rich white liberal elites, they also favor rich white liberal narratives of global cultures.
Do those primitive practices exist in China? Yes and far worse: like the one-child/two-child forced abortion policies — but there is far more to China and other civilizations than as simplified by those realities.
64,000 Americans died (was it last year) from drug/opiate overdoses!!! One of the reasons why is boredom and disconnection stemming from the cultural sterility characterizing much of modern American society...blocking oneself from meaningful encounters with other cultures, with other human beings only perpetuates the cycle. So I think, if you have the opportunity to travel, do so. You may be surprised by the priceless joy and enrichment to be had.
My favorite Chinese film is “Raise the Red Lantern” it was banned by the government due to its political overtones, but you can get a feel for all the beauty and epicness of Chinese civilization while aware of its corruptions. The music alone is stunning and the lead actress Gong Li is gorgeous. I recommend it.
