    He travels to several provinces and shows dog meat on sale in all of them, even large developed cities.

    There is a dog meat festival he goes to in Yulin.

    I get that you want to push back on this, but watch the video first at least.

        "I had an ex whose family literally farmed dogs for consumption, and even for them dog wasn’t a common meal."

        Come on, seriously?

        If you can find dog meat in a local market in every town or city, how is that not common?

        Steak is not a "common" meal in the US, but it's not uncommon and you can find it anywhere.

        If 25% of Americans had eaten a food, that is common.

        You're letting your knee-jerk defensiveness of anything in China make you argue against this while you actually knew someone who farms dog meat.

        Why should I bother arguing against someone that dead set on not budging.

          You can get your hands on ostrich/gator/buffalo meat in just about every major US city as well, i've seen farms for ostrich and buffalo. The meat being accessible is different from it being common.

            If you can buy swordfish in every grocery store it isn't uncommon. It's eaten as a special meal, but that isn't uncommon.

            Kangaroo meat is uncommon in America, dog meat impossible to acquire.

            But swordfish I can go to a Stop & Shop and buy.

                Why are you downvoting this guy?

                That channel is disgusting fucking propaganda and you guys are falling for it like the pathetic tools/useful idiots you are. This guy is absolutely right, dog is barely eaten in China – dog and any weird animal those racist pieces of shit tells you about; I live I China and I know this very well.

                I'm really angry now, do you want to know why? Because I used to watch this little piece of shit before I came to live in this country and oh boy, he couldn't tell more lies. You guys are falling for pure bullshit.

                    No need to thank. I tend to refrain from changing bigoted opinions about China, but hell, we are in Chapo, not Reddit.

                    You did a good job in explaining the situation, when you are right, you are right. If anyone doesn't believe us and prefers to believe an anti-China grifter (he was anti-China even when he lived in China, so much for muh bad CCP), they can come to this country and check the truth by themselves.

                    By the way, it's quite telling that some people here prefer to believe a dehumanising caricature-like version of Chinese people (savages that eat dogs, bats and insects on a daily basis; are brutal and uncompassionate; and are mindless drones), than to believe that Chinese are like any other human.

                    Hell, just this year Shenzhen banned the consumption of dogs, and absolutely disagree with it. I don't disagree because I like to eat dogs, but I disagree because thinking eating dogs is any different from eating pigs is just cultural imperialism. According to Western culture domestic animals are sacred, this no different from Indians with cows. All animals suffer when they are killed for consumption, they don't suffer more or less for being domestic animals. If you believe people from other places eating dogs is uncivilised, you are a cultural imperialist and a hypocrite.

                    Anyways, going back to the topic, if you believe this yellow peril caricature, you should check your clear crypto-racism, crypto-imperialism and crypto-supremacism. Most Chinese don't eat dogs, nor exotic animals, nor insects.

                    I can answer questions if it helps changing anyone's misconceptions or mistaken beliefs about China or Chinese.

                    Don’t worry the person you were arguing with has all the worst takes. I understood what you were saying and valued your input and perspective.
