China is back to business as usual.

Is there nothing they don't eat over there?

Fuck is wrong with them?

I'm over this shit. Nuke the places they still do it.

Fucking degenerate savage peasants.

They're toying with Armageddon, and there's no way for the rest of us to stop them.

Without threatening to launch missles. Which, of course, would be toying with Armageddon.

With a population of 1.4 billion people anything edible is fair game.

The apologists will be showing up any minute...

They have nuclear weapons as well. They will nuke you back

Locusts.

And yet this is who Hollywood markets to for big box office...

They need to be shamed into submission. Xi is fighting hard against anyone pointing the finger at China...this is why the virus needs to be treated like every other novel virus and named after it's origin. None of this covid or coronavirus shit. It's the Wuhan flu.

China sends its love. Enjoy your Trump virus.

Why isn't their own fucking govt doing anything? They put people in camps for their religion (whatever you think, they'd never eat this disgusting shit), but they can't stop THIS? Why?

Sum Ding Wong

You morons still think this is from eating. Talk about shit for brains.

R15, what does you reddit conspiracy circle-jerk tell you?

r14, it was Sum Ting Wong

It's the Karma virus. What horrible fate people wished on China came home to roost. Enjoy your virus soap.

R18, who the fuck was wishing anything on China before this? Hell, I live in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood in Brooklyn and even many of them are pissed off with their native country.

Drop a nuke and be done with it. These people are a danger to the future of mankind.

They are the Borg.

Soulless.

The Chinese need to stop this shit, once and for all. But I will reserve judgement until a REAL news source reports this, not the Daily Heil. God, this could have been from before this all started for all we know. That racist rag has a history of lying. OP, real sources now or GTFO!

"Is there nothing they don't eat over there?"

They're 3rd world pretending to be 1st world.

R23, please. Even the third world has its limitations.

R17, I was speaking Cantonese.

I live in a Central American Third World country, and people here do not eat the shit the Chinese do.

Third World people would sooner eat beans/lentils than bats or rats. Fucking disgusting. It's mostly Asia where they have no limitations when it comes to living things.

Unfortunately many Chinese feel wildlife is on earth to be used. Doesn’t matter what it is.

Well, I hope the Chinese will enjoy the sanctions that will rain down on them from all directions after the dust settles.

They’re toast, they know it.

The fucking chinks will kill us all!

Fuck you, op. You are an asshole.

I just read where they have delivered thousands of cremation boxes to the city of origin. Even though the death count was much less. The are nothing but liars.

Live in a mainland-Chinese heavy city. No racist, but guarantee you they don't give AF about their virus or the havoc they caused.

They will be looking forward to their $1,200 checks tho.

And they will be the first to be calling when it is a day late.

China is going to lose so much after the world recovers from Covid. The hate and vitriol directed at them will be unlike anything they have seen.

Let us kill some chinks here or send them to the concentration camp. They deserve it

OP is a fucking racist bag of shit. There is absolutely NO proof that clip is current and not pre-virus. NONE.

And eating bats and other wild animals has now been banned in China, as of a week ago. There is no way someone would be able to buy it in a food cart.

Shame on you OP. You're worthless.

R36, I'm R19 and a lot of my neighbors are Chinese. Quiet, good, upper middle class people. I want nothing to happen to them. They didn't want this either.

r32, it was a Bloomberg story and it's more like 10s of 1000s. one funeral home alone took delivery of 5000 urns.

B-b-b-b-b-b-but it's RACIST to criticize other cultures' FOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

No, OP/R40. But it's racist to lie and try to pretend something is what it's not, to incite hatred against an entire race of people.

You're scum.

That joke of a new law is Chinese PR. Kung Pao is still chasing around everything with a tail in Ding Dong Dang.

OP, and the Brits are breaking curfew to go out and buy such "essential" items as lava lamps, paint, houseplants, and doormats. Every time they do, they risk exposure or exposing other people.

But they're white, so I'll bet that's a-ok with you.

R35 yes, it will be ugly.

Nobody will trade or do business with the Chinese for decades. Manufacturing will return to the US almost overnight as unions also come back. The Chinese govt’s mindset of grinding their populace under their bootheels will be rejected all over the world. And poor honest immigrant Chinese Americans who have lived here for decades and proved themselves hardworking and honest will pay the price.

I hate this.

R44 Please. Lazy Americans can't even quarantine properly.

Not to mention all goods made by the American unions will be crap and cost 20x as much to support union wages.

India/Bangladesh/Vietnam will benefit from this. Their governments are probably drafting child labor-friendly laws as we speak.

No it won’t. I’m sorry but it won’t. Who’s been pushing Trump to get the country up and running by Easter? Wealthy CEOs. They’ll have those Chinese factories humming again as fast as they can. And we’ll want our cheap flat screen.

Many of you are in violation of your countries domestic terrorism and/or hate speech laws. This board is not as anonymous as you may think.

Just shut the fuck up, EU stooge r47.

Muriel has an obligation to report many of these comments as incitement to violence/terrorism. I really hope she does. I already have.

China is a HUGE market. HUGE economy. You're insane if you think that'll end.

r47 types are the real vermin.

I'm truly surprised to see that so many distinguished Sinologists are commenting on this thread.

What you don't seem to get is that most companies are not "patriotic." You think Walmart gives a shit that this happened to Americans? The fucking president wants it to be a "Hunger Games" situation over ventilators for fuck sake. Have you seen any wealthy person immediately say they'll bring back manufacturing?

What in the hell makes you think it won't go back to business as usual since the wealthy don't really need the American market when China has four times the number of people? Don't be so god damned naive. Money is the only thing that matters in the end. Life is meaningless.

[quote]Their governments are probably drafting child labor-friendly laws as we speak.

Understandable. Their little hands are so gentle on our delicates.

We have three.

E48 I live in the U.S. Your country actually has shown an interest in tracking down individuals that violate its hate speech laws over the internet. Be cognizant of the fact that you are however posting on a United States domain and several bodies here monitor and track violent extremists that recruit for their White Nationalist cause and forward these details to the appropriate agencies internationally.

It's a shame that this website is being used to further a xenophobic, terrorist agenda, and it's being perpetrating by a small number of people. I blocked two posters and half this thread disappeared.

Get fucked and die.

Eating cats and abusing animals, in general, ought to garner heinous karma and social shunning, no matter WHERE you're from/are.

Oh FFS, what hate speech has been said on this thread? The apologists on this thread are disgusting.

R57 Dear dumb one, attacking the majority of a country for the diets of a few is like someone calling you or I a squirrel eating, alligator humping, goose torturing fiend. Please don't be naive. This is about a few radicals on here trying to recreate the horrific treatment of the Japanese... the Jews.. The Tutsi. The scenarios may shift but the culprits remain the same. They live for hatred. Racism is a sickness of the mind.

R58 The calls to murder "chinks" and nuke an entire population of course don't qualify as hatred to you. You can't see that you're the frog in the pot being boiled alive by your own seething hatred. Oh look, there's another thing certain people in the west eat that doesn't evoke calls for mass murder.

Fuck all the chinese apologists.

Here is a copy of the article. https ://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8163761/Chinese-markets-selling-bats.html

R59 = lesbian

R60 No, fuck you for sharing a tabloid link to a publication known for its support of the Nazis, its persecution of gay men during the AIDS crisis and more recently sharing a cartoon depicting migrant mothers and children as RATS... Vermin, which has been a term thrown around here-- that need to be exterminated.

Still, I don't wish for you to simply drop dead because of your disgusting beliefs. I wish for all the self loathing and hatred towards yourself you've bottled up your entire life to disappear. That takes more work than a datalounge dialogue can offer. However-- the threats of violence here are serious and should be addressed by moderation through an ISP ban.

"Infectious diseases emerging from Chinese wet-markets: zoonotic origins of severe respiratory viral infections."

Note the date: Oct 2006

R59, I'm R3. I specifically said nuke the places where they still do it - as in the markets, not the entire country.

R63 I'm done opening private windows to check your replies. Like I said-- this thread has about 10 total posts out of 64 that aren't coming from you and maybe two other people. That's insane.

Not even touching the fact that you don't seem to know how nuclear weapons work. It's probably a good thing.

**R64

Are you done finger wagging and threatening people? Citizens around the world are justifiably pissed off at this.

You're either a Chinese PR plant or you're insane.

[quote]Not even touching the fact that you don't seem to know how nuclear weapons work. It's probably a good thing.

I actually do know how they work. It's hyperbole on my part. You do understand I don't actually believe in nuking humans. I'd settle for a hard crackdown by the govt over there. I mean they seem to have no problem doing it to people fighting for democracy or their right to practice their religion, yet closing down markets with dogs in pain stuffed in cages and disease-carrying animals as food, seems to be hard for the govt to do. Shut those markets down. Show the world you take this seriously.

R65 I don't know what you're talking about as I've only posted two posts on this thread.

In the meantime, I suggest you have a look at the article at R63, it is the website of the "US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health"

""Infectious diseases emerging from Chinese wet-markets: zoonotic origins of severe respiratory viral infections."

It is from the year 2006.

Read an learn.

BTW according to CNN, the ban on the wet markets in China is a "temporary ban".

*Read and learn.

China reopened the wet markets 3 months after SARS. It's a 74 billion dollar business they'll never let it go unless you make it more expensive to keep them going than to shut them down for good. That country's a petri dish and our wannabe secret police is welcome to report me for 'hate' speech. Racist is a cheap word coming from a country that locks Muslims in concentration camps.

China is borrowing a page from Russian troll farms. Now they are sending their trolls all over the internet to shut any criticism of China.

Don't argue with them, just block them.

[quote]And eating bats and other wild animals has now been banned in China, as of a week ago. There is no way someone would be able to buy it in a food cart.

The ban is only temporary. It may very well have been lifted by now.

Cnn: "China’s wild animal trade should be banned for good if future viruses are to be stopped, activists warn"

Markets are back to selling Bat soup. Yeah right.

China would have to reeducate an entire country in order to avoid the next pandemic.

R74 - you act like there are no governing bodies or police in these areas. There are - or at the minimum, local Communist party officials.

They can do this if they wanted.

It's no one's fault, it's just one of those things that happen in life.

I guess you could substitute China with Homosexual and say the same thing about AIDS.

Of course you'd find that offensive

If you'd been diagnosed with hiv and it's infectious and you're fucking every 19 year old bareback you can find yes it's your fault. China is a diseased demon fucking the world bareback.

[quote] Of course you'd find that offensive

You won't since you are not a gay man. How is gay life in China btw? Are they close to passing gay marriage?

You want to see an avalanche of Chinese trolls, read the Financial Times comments on any article about China.

500 posts of broken Engrish Chicom propaganda. Everyone laughs at them, but they do it every time.

How come no pandemic viruses or diseases ever come from India? Most people there seem to have some kind of respect for animals, even if they treat (or at least the upper classes treat the lower classes) horribly.

Rather than yet another hysterical, irrational thread filled with venom, finger-pointing, scapegoating and demonising, you cunts might want to consider the fact that China, the epicenter of Wuflu, IS back in business. Which means so will the rest of the world. Eventually.

You want to save yourself from foreign cooties? Then stop flights, imports, and tourists to/from the dirty, overcrowded developing and third world. Because this time it was China. Next time, it may be Africa. Where Lassa fever is rampant and far more deadly than Wuflu.

The fuck did this get ff'd? The china apologists are truly something else. When you're coughing and dying in the icu let's see if you're still apologizing for these assholes.

I am also curious to the answer to r80's question.

I wonder if part of it is because almost all people there are actually quite strict on what they will and will not eat (vegetarians of various strictness, halal rules, etc)

Obviously the whole kosher/halal thing means they don't eat "unclean" animals. When people don't have "normal" meat as an option, they don't go eating vermin. Shockingly, they opt for other sources of protein that aren't animal-based.

#1 with a nasal swab.

Yeah R82 - the apologists FF'd OP. Bunch of assholes.

R84 - halal in India? Only 14% of India's population is Muslim. About 1/2 are vegetarian and a good percentage don't eat a lot of meat.

So, I think it's a combination of lower-levels of meat eating and also I don't recall any articles about Indians eating exotic animal meat.

[quote]The china apologists are truly something else.

They are Chinese farm trolls, not regular posters. Block them.

In the late 90's i attended a forum about the challenges that the planet would face in the 21st century. When they started talking about how China would become the top superpower one of the panelists, a Chinese scientist, interrupted and bluntly said that China wasn't going to take over the world, it was going to destroy it.

How right he was.

R88 Substitute 'Jews' for Chinese and you see how any normal person views your insane, vitriolic statements. Or maybe they're on your ethnic hit list as well. It's more than probable....

[quote] Only 14% of India's population is Muslim.

ONLY? That's 200M people. 200, 000, 000. Using it as a percentage like it's some minuscule number is preposterous.

R90 - the post was referring to all the halal meat eaten in India - it's just not a large part of the population. It sounded like the post thought a large percentage of the population ate meat and specifically halal meat. They don't and it's a small percentage.

I would welcome ANY food preparation laws in China right now.

R91, but even with meat, Muslims and Jews do seem to have more stringent standards than even "western" mass produced meat. I've bought meat from both Kosher and ME markets in NY and the meat tends to look/taste fresher than the crap you see in supermarkets.

[quote]Substitute 'Jews' for Chinese and you see how any normal person views your insane, vitriolic statements.

R89 The difference is that, due to ancient, entrenched social/cultural anti-Jewish bigotry/hatred, if R88's statement were about Jews, most "normal people" would certainly NOT view it as "insane" or "vitriolic" but as a culturally- acknowledged given and fact.

R93 That you choose to spend your time fermenting hatred against entire nations of people knowing how endemic these attitudes are and what they lead to would drive any.. normal person.. to introspection.

Op here, It's not about they eating dogs or not. Even tho I fing the practive abhorrent, I understand that it is a source of protein for such a large population.

It's about regulation. Instead of having those horrid wet markets, if they must continue eating dogs and cats, it's about having processing plants for that kind of meat, with all the standards of hygiene. The same goes for reptil meat and whatnot. Other type of meats, like Bats and Pangolins and rare species should be banned outright.

It's not about discrimination, it's about bringing their meat consuption to 21st Century hygienic standards. Butchering and torturing live animals in such dirty conditions is not only cruel and barbaric, but belongs to another Century. It's common sense.

The Chinese people who do that do it for cruelty.

[quote]That you choose to spend your time fermenting hatred

Uh . . . R94 . . . It's F O M E N T I N G

Are you as engaged in regulating roadkill and reptile cuisine cuisine in your own country? Or is it just others that have the problem?

Everything All the Time is about The Jews.

R96 Dear one, you've already shown thinking isn't in your wheelhouse. Digging yourself further.

R94 - go back to writing your fiction about coming down with the Coronavirus.

You must be Chinese or Chinese American, because you're just way too hot about these comments.

R100 Yes. I only speak out when I have a Chinese dog in the race. You've perfectly exposed MY nature and not your own.

R98 It's all about Jews because YOU'VE made sure of it with 1,700 years of socially/culturally entrenched Jew hatred.

R102 Yet you're sitting here participating in dialogue reflective of culturally entrenched hatred of Asians. How baffling. Now you're arguing with a bigot seconds ago you thought you had commonality with. Funny how that works!

R103 In your hell-bent race to tar everyone "bigot", you've completely lost the plot (to say nothing of proper spelling). Where did I agree with "a bigot"?

"Cultural entrenched hatred of Asians is completely erroneous", as there are no common Asian stereotypes that transcend cultures worldwide, especially not in Asian cultures or where Asian populations are non-existent.

R104 Sorry, proper spelling? Are you the one that didn't realize fermenting and fomenting are linguistically synonymous? I'm over that-- I even provided a link to highlight your dumbassery.

Secondly, no. I'm not engaging with this "there's no universal racism or stereotypes against Asians" line of argument. One has to wonder where you grew up. I've noticed you for years making disgustingly prejudiced comments and then clutching your pearls when one of your comrades shows themselves to be an antisemite. Have fun with that. That road leads nowhere.

Yikes!

If you block the Chinese farm troll. Half of the replies are gone.

[quote]I'm not engaging with this "there's no universal racism or stereotypes against Asians" line of argument.

In every culture in the world, there are hatred, slanders, stereotypes and vicious bigotry about and against Jews, including in cultures where Jews have never existed. That does not happen with Asians.

[quote] I've noticed you for years making disgustingly prejudiced comments and then clutching your pearls when one of your comrades shows themselves to be an antisemite.

Given your predilection for bad spelling/grammar, either you have me mixed up with another poster (highly possible on a board with hundreds of posters); OR

I've displeased the Little Empress by having the temerity to express opinions that you don't share.

Just as guess; English is NOT your first language, is it?

Fuck those disgusting Chinese. They have put the world and its economy at great risk and should be appropriately sanctioned. Oh and the Chinese farm trolls and apologists should stuff a pangolin up their asses.

R67, you should see the sensorship on Reddit, turns out they own a 50% stake. US handling re cv bashing posts get huge numbers of upvotes, rising to the tops of subs. Mild criticism re: the CCP is removed. What was that about our overloards being those who cannot be criticized?

Anyone seen more on this?

ugh, Cenorship

we need an edit button and i need coffee

Haute cuisine!

God, that's disgusting. That asshole isn't even starving and that's what he chooses to eat? And they're still alive, too. I don't understand this psychotic need to not only eat some of the most disgusting things, but torture them in the process. Eating them in the first place is disgusting when you aren't even desperate, but while still alive. Jesus Christ, even hicks who eat possum and squirrel kill the fucking thing first.

WTF is wrong with these people?

Fish prepared so it's still alive when it's served. Blinking frogs gobbled down like chocolate. Handfuls of squirming baby mice swallowed by the dozens, like popcorn. And let's not mention live dogs thrown into boiling water. They taste SO much better if they suffer as they are cooked. Where's my napkin?

Please die, Americans.

Have no fear, r114, eventually some demon virus will arise in some wet market in some numbered shithole anthill Chinese city, and you'll get your wish.

Gross as fuck, wtf is wrong with these freaks? Eating live. baby mice like they're snakes. Imhumane.

Are we sure they're not the real life "V"?

Bon appetite

I wonder if the rest of the world is going to come down hard on China and tell them to clean up their act when this is all over.

The propaganda effort from China and complicit governments (I'm looking at you, governments of Canada and Australia and NZ, among many others) and also companies that profit from Chinese cheapskating, corner-cutting, and slave labour will be intense and unrelenting. Hopefully everyone keeps their head and doesn't forget.

[quote]Are we sure they're not the real life "V"?

I love you for that reference!

If I get a wish it's that China be flushed down into hell.

Vile.

Fuck these Chines ‘Wumao/五毛/50 cents’ trolls.

They are just fucking everywhere, and are as bad as the Russian bots.

Reddit has fallen prey to these fucking ‘Wumao/50 cents’:

Taiwan is helping:

Not only is China reopened for business, so are the "wet markets".

"Thank God you're back open! I'll take a side of koala, a quart of monkey brains and two dozen mice. And throw in a few of those dog testicles!"

BOGO!

TRUTH:

So, now it's not just the Daily Mail reporting this, per the link at R127. Can we get a comment from the SJW who has been foaming at the mouth all over this thread?

I'm surprised they did it so soon though, while still playing the pr. game in Italy and elsewhere.

Trump is an imbecile, but he is the only one who (when it suits him) calls these locusts out. All other political leaders will be silent and nothing will change. Nothing. China will continue to rape the world.
