I hate the callous way they allow animals to be treated.

And Australia for allowing jump racing despite the carnage. It’s not racism, it’s evil shit done by a country that happens to be a race that’s not the same as mine. I don’t hate muslins, I do hate isis. And I do hate Umpires ever $$%^%%$ colour they are .
Yep!! I do hate the Chinese people mainly the middle class and wealthy who are rapidly ensuring the extinction of so many species with their greed and “status” shite and the authorities who turn a blind eye to it! I understand that poverty may cause people to eat what we would consider repulsive and not acceptable- that doesn’t excuse the cruelty in any way!! I love the increasing number of Chinese people who are working their backsides off against the odds to improve animal welfare in their country. And you can extend that love and hate to every country including the USA and our own.

A tiny snippet of internal insight:
The NYT wrote:The bellicose voices in Beijing have been subtly challenged by proponents of a more moderate approach, and the Chinese foreign ministry distanced itself from Mr. Hu’s comments on nuclear weapons. Despite the ill-will, both governments have pushed ahead with the partial deal to ease trade tensions.

“China is also highly polarized,” said Professor Zhu, the Nanjing University scholar.

“Some people just believe that there’s no way but to just fight back. But I don’t think so,” he said. China, he said, “needs to be very coolheaded.”

If I were younger, I'd move to China on a mission to help understand and translate what's going on there because our cluelessness on the subject is palpable. We would grasp a tenth of eff all about the place.

Read some of Stan Grant's stuff about being posted over there, being under constant surveillance with the constant implied threat of what may happen if you published something the authorities didn't like.

No thanks.
