Great video, for pointing out the misconceptions about China. Please continue sharing the truth. Not everything in China is great but it is just like any other country.

Regarding products made in China, there was a time when made in Taiwan, S. Korea and especially Japan, which was infamously known as the greatest copycat in the world were disparaged. People have short memories.

The answer is yes, the meat is available. But it depends on the region you're in. I know at least in Shandong, where my wife lives, it is available. And personally, I care very little. I would absolutely not turn down a plate of dog meat if my inlaws served it for dinner. I've always been of the opinion that it is hypocritical to place your dogs on a pedestal and casually look away at how livestock is treated when cows and pigs are also relatively intelligent animals that have to be suffering in the mass-production meat industry. Heck, I've owned chickens before and even they seemed decently aware of their surroundings. Enough to choose a nesting location and come to my back door every day to ask for food. And also call for help when a cat was sneaking into my yard. So if you're against eating dogs because you have some emotional attachment to them, take a look at the rest of the standard livestock first and consider being a vegetarian if you hate it. At least that way, your hate for eating animals is fair.

Most Chinese people find eating dog disgusting. Having said that, eating dogs is not confined to China. In certain parts of Switzerland, dog-eating is practised.

I like that you have the back alleys as the background of your video while talking about misconception. Interesting and funny. Thanks!

It's not just Chinese thing, it's generally ASIAN. You can see dog meat sold in Korea and other Asian countries too. If someone wishes to buy it - they can, if they don't want - they won't. But generally, it's available. Not to mention other "exotic food" sold in special markets that are even worse than dog, in my opinion.

Good job for being honest

Thank you so much. would share this video to some of the friends that has misconceptions anout my home country.

Thanks for sharing.

Love watching ur video and learn more about China

As usual, when a foreigner said something positive about China, trolls will come out to ask how much did the Chinese government paid him/her and then say shame on you. 13 hours after this video appeared, NOT YET such troll appears. Night time in the US or Britain?

yea, in Guangxi province people eat dogs , same as Vietnamese and Koreans. In general Chinese people dont eat dogs but I dont blame people who eats them , they are the same as chicken , pig, cows , these animals all have feelings .

Good content...greetings from the Netherlands.

Good info. Keep it up and dispell all the misinformation from the west.

Very helpful video. Thank you.

1st time here..good video and true say ❤

Nice video bro

last week I met a friend’s friend, when I said I want to visit YangZhou this Autumn, had you ever think of the food u eat are poisoned with fertilisers? I don’t know they don’t care about the release of nuclear recycled water from Japan but care about to eat food in China.

liked and subbed 👍

A big logic mistake here Choquito: Eat dog is not sth wrong and bad, and we should fully respect their right to eat dogs just as we asked them to respect our right to love dogs. There is no difference between eating dogs and eating chickens, lamps, fishes, why should where be a difference? Just cuz dogs are more cute? They are all creatures in the nature world and the human beings are logically able to kill any other creatures in need and necessary(in human beings' perspective, which is u and me). There is no such a "equal" for the nowadays world, if anyone really want to talk about real equal for all creatures then we should travel back to ancient time where man and other animals "equally" eat each other, not like now that there will be a consequence for a lion or tiger just cuz they attacked a human in emergency(from their perspective) and no consequence for human if its the other way around . And further more I have not hear any news about Chinese gov are doing anything to opposite the dog-eating(which u mentioned in the video, and I would appreciate it if u can share the source, and they should NOT do that in anyway cuz its NOT sth wrong that need to be stopped. Dont let ys fall in that WEST white-left logic, its their logic, but not the WORLD logic.

95%Chinese (Han) do not eat dog meat. However, there are also some ethnic minorities in China (in Guangxi 廣西, similar to Southeast Asian races) to eat dog meat. They have dog meat festivals. This is their customs and culture.

by any chance do you run this other KZfaq video game channel called Mob-X? because you sound just like the guy who does commentary on those gaming trailer montages

Supports!

Haha how about wedding lunch in Zhejiang?

The pollution situation in China depends on the city. Shanghai is now mainly focused on finance and technology industries and does not have many heavily polluting factories, so the air quality is relatively good. However, in the northern parts, especially in some heavy industrial cities, pollution is still severe. My friend in Beijing told me that the pollution in Beijing is very severe.

Thanks for clarifying some misconceptions for China. Most of points are true, but regarding eating dogs, I would like to say that WE CHINESE DO EAT DOGS. Given the dominaance of west culture and value influence, eating dog becomes a "Shame" for Chinese. But I can say loudly that we eat dogs. and we have been eating for more than 2000 years. Fan Kuai (242-189 BC) was a military general of the early Western Han dynasty. In his early days, he was a butcher and specialised in preparing dog meat. I grew up in Hubei Province, in my childhood, dog meats were normal food. because people were very poor at that time, very few chance to eat any meat, dog meat is a reasonable meat source. However, nowadays, eating dog meat is not that popular but still popular in some region, because most of Chinese have very diverse meat sources. Personally I haven't eaten dog meats in last 30years. From culture perspective, why should we feel shameful becasue of eating dogs? do westers feel shameful for eating beef because Indians think cows are holly animal?

Oh, thx so much. many of my friends still think there’s restrictions providing dog meat everywhere.😅

Could you have a video where you show religious institutions? Primarily Hindu temples and Islamic mosques? I'm trying to get my mom to come with me and I think that would help

if the the source of meat is fitting on the law, legal and safe which can be eaten includes dog in China. however people from lot of places in China do not eat dog meat.

侬好👌🏻

i would like to try dog hot pot, since now people are abusing petting dogs.

The Chinese do eat dog meat, but in modern society, dog meat is a very uneconomical source of protein, far inferior to pork and beef in the industrialized breeding industry, so even though it is very rare to eat dog meat in China today, it does not mean that it does not exist. Ancient China has always been an agricultural society, not as dependent on dogs as nomads. In ancient China, cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered. On the contrary, dog meat could be eaten.

谢谢客观评论中国😊 我也在用vpn 中文叫 快连，一键连接KZfaq

👍👍👍

Stattdessen habe ich gehört, dass Koreaner Hundefleisch, Vietnamesen Katzenfleisch essen.

The only type of dogs legally sold for human consumption in Shanghai is hot dogs.

What about the uighuren when you say all religions are accepted?

dog is on the menu, not just in China. there are dogs specifically bred for human consumption. Have you ever heard of the breed "chow chow". do you know why it's called the Chow Chow? But that doesn't matter, just because dogs are considered pets in parts of North America, and Europe, where there's no need to eat dogs, doesn't mean such standard must be maintained through out the world. ps dogs are yummy. excellent meat fibers, without gaminess.

What's the problem eating dogs? If you are against eating dog, you should stop eating any live stock then. Same idea. However, I do think that if you grew attached to an animal aka raise them as pets whether it's pig or dog or any other animal, then yes as they are like extended family and you shouldn't eat them.

Most of your comments are fair and true. However, there are still some misconceptions on China. Chinese do eat dogs. Particularly in the old days. It is just like the westerns eat horses or donkeys. In China, there is a saying that all living things with their back facing the sky are edible. (So, dogs, rats, insects and many others are edible and are delicious good food, believe it or not).

that's like saying all American eat squirrel cuz hillbillies eat em...

The dog meat is available pretty much everywhere in China, those who wanna eat will find it, where's the misconception then?

Big deal! Not all people in China eat dog meat but there are some percentage of them do eat dog meat. Why do make big issue about when many south east Asians also eat. Now don't be surprise if I tell you about India which have up to 39% vegetarian population and have small percentage of non vegetarian people in India who eat dog meat openly in north eat India and there is nothing to lie about it, I am from India. I know. every culture is deferent from other and so is their food. Beside who eats what and why is nobody's business. If somebody don't like, don't eat, nobody is forcing anybody. But be honest about it's there out in open you can find selective restaurants in China who serve dog meat and also in south east Asia and northeast India.,😂 Don't know what you are trying to prove.

There is no difference between eating dogs and cows.

Dog are eaten in all over in asia countries, mostly in south asia.

吃狗怎么了？我还吃过猫呢。

When talking about the freedom in China, it means that China is not that free compared with those advanced and democratic contries. It refers to the degree of control exerted by state/government over society, and in this term China is obviously an authoritarian regime, so this means China is not that free. Also the freedom of speech is definitely a part of freedom, I have no idea why you say it's not necessarily. (BTW you do agree that China has no freedom of speech?). You might have experienced the lockdown in Shanghai last year. Did you feel free at that time? Do you think enforcing the strict zero-policy was resonable, regardless of people's rights and freedom? I used to live in Shanghai, and I agree with you that Shanghai is one of the best cities in China. You are lucky that you live in Shanghai, almost the most open, advanced, civilised city in China. But it's just Shanghai, and doesn't represent whole part of China.

China had a tradition of eating dog meat two thousand years ago. At that time, most of the West was still in a tribal society, so they had no right to criticize others for what they ate. Norway and Japan also ate dolphins and whales. I don’t see these animal protection organizations come out to bark😂

牛是印度人的神，美国人欧洲人却吃牛肉，真恶心

Yes they eat dogs, bats etc.

love from china and billbill
