>>113934816>China is to blameYeah, china AS A NATION may be to blame. Fuck the chinese government. Maybe even the chinese CULTURE is to blame, because they fancy some less "conventional" food, but virtually every culture has some traditions like that. People all over the world eat wild fungi, or hunt wild animals that are in no way tested for health. From what I know, brazillians - Hi anon above - pick up fucking ants off the ground and make fucking popcorn out of them.
Moreso, I guarantee you that the chinese would have less incentive to eat half-cooked pangolins if they didn't live in an exploitative system, brought by, again, surprise surprise, shitty chinese government.
However, it's very unlikely that china, as political entity, is going to suffer the consequences. Individual asian americans and asian immigrants trying to escape that culture or regime are going to suffer intolerance, racism and mistrust.
And more importantly than that, people who have the power and responsibility to control the spread of the disease RIGHT NOW, will weasel out of the consequences by shifting the blame.
The shit is already on their boots, it's time to stop distracting everybody by cursing the dog while you parade around the house in them.
