Without going into too much detail, my job involves the online moderation of a community of customers, and part of those duties include putting together a list of 20 true/false quiz questions every week.

As tempting as it would be to go totally mask-off, I need to maintain plausibly deniability, but would like to be just based enough to pique curiosity. If anyone can suggest some strange-but-true facts or wild-assumed-but-false beliefs of a brain-blowing nature, all easily citable, it would make my job a lot more satisfying. Information related to China/Asia preferred.

Here's the kind of thing I have in mind:

Chinse law prohibits workplace collective action - FALSE Half of all oceanborne plastic is from discarded commercial fishing nets - TRUE Polls have found as many as 95.% of Chinese are "satisfied" with their national government - TRUE Air pollution levels in Beijing have increased by 30% since 2014 - FALSE

Please share your ideas. Thanks.

    Related is the ol' MSG gives you headaches myth. Easily sourceable, demonstrably not true, calls people out on particularly anti Asian beliefs of westerners.
