[quote=GRIZ326,38123]Agreed Chris, not for the PC police, but for preservation of endangered species it could be justified so long as the Chinese people willingly limit their consumption of traditional dishes. ...but I don't thinks of sharks as endangered; are they? ...I do know there are a number of "exotic" dishes with endangered ingredients, but I did not know shark was among them. The only issue I might have with your point of view, Chris, would be when the PC police control the environmental terms. ...and you are correct, Chris, in saying I believe strongly that the PC police are a destructive force; I have greater tolerance for governmentally imposed restrictions on speech.

I am not certain I understood your post, WINDENERGY....but if you are saying that the Chinese are not as kind, gentle, and polite as you were led to believe - you may have a point in modern Chinese society. I can testify that China is nothing like it was when I first visited Amoy and Shanghai in 1978.  I believe you can attribute your frustration to the ills of modernization.[/quote]
