We went to China last year, much to my delight, on a canal ride, dropping us “tourists” off at an undesignated stop, much to our Chinese guides panic to get us back to bus area, we saw something of this wet market, I took photos, jumpy little bugs, live eels in a bucket of water, and so forth, with fires ready to cook to your choosing of theses delicacies.
There were scooters beeping anyone out of the way, and I felt just like a local chinese would feel, a little disrespected, life a bit cheap, it was a real walk amongst the walk of locals.
We were soon ushered away and back to tourist modus but that bit of reality, was more exciting to me than any 6 star hotel we stayed at.

Now, some years ago, it came to the attention of old Chinese men eating babies boiled in a big pot, to improve their manhood, either from aborted or stillborn, the photos I saw back then were gross.
I had a quick look and found this link about something similar.

Oh, dear, they sell Koalas for eating, it seems. Angry

Because it is in The SUN and I am dubious, I've asked middle son to ask his Chinese wife what is written in the circled areas of the pics.

Koalas is BS but I've been to markets in the very north of Laos near the Chinese border where they sell all kinds of jungle delicacies both alive and preserved, bats, civet cats, snakes, lizards, monkeys, gliders. If it walks or crawls, they eat it.

I sure it's BS, it's The Sun, it's amazing they are not claiming it's meat from crashed aliens. I'll find out what it really says when the kids get home from work.

The truth of what happens is bad enough, no reason to embellish. I've seen a whole bear embalmed in a tank of rice wine. Bear wine give you many power!

A mate saw a bear in a cage on the back of a ute with it's gall bladder tapped.

I heard it put more succinctly, "if its belly faces the ground, they'll eat it" but after reading Lols post about aborted foetuses and still births I'm not sure that is correct.

She doesn't know how to exactly translate the meaning to English. She says it's to do with farming/raising animals. There is nothing to do with Koalas there at all.

Just the sort of crap you'd expect from stories in The Sun.

She’s a TIMEBOMB’ Chinese woman hides Coronavirus to enter France - and brags online.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1231898/coronavirus-latest-chinese-woman-fr...

A CHINESE woman who knew she was infected with the deadly coronavirus has disguised her symptoms by deliberately taking antipyretics and successfully boarded a plane to France. She then bragged about her actions online in photographs with friends she met on arrival, according to Chinese media sources.

I would not put anything past the Chinese. (Asians generally)
