Chinese ethnicity has claim on a lot of good stuff but I guess that's what you get when your ethnicity claims about 1/5 of all human experience throughout world history

Baizuo is really used for the moderate left parties (which are more friendly to the Muslims immigrants and feminist value, Chinese largely don't care about stuff like abortion and gun right). I don't think the mainstream DEM is left/cool enough to be labelled "Baizuo".

quote:



More than 1m pigs have been culled across China since last August in an attempt to stop African swine fever from spreading further through the world’s largest producer and consumer of pork.

The outbreak is devastating for a domestic industry worth some $128bn, and impacts a staple of China’s diet. Before the recent culls, the country was home to 400m pigs and pork is the most popular meat: 30.6kg was consumed per person in 2018, almost three times the amount of poultry eaten.

The disease has now jumped to Vietnam, Hong Kong, Mongolia, Cambodia and North Korea, forcing countries to implement disinfection programmes and more stringent checks at borders in a bid to halt it. Experts at the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) worry it could spread still further to Myanmar, the Philippines and Laos, making this one of the worst animal disease outbreaks on record.

uh oh

this type of thing seems inevitable as climate change and temperature changes weaken animal immune systems, worsen their diet, and improve the chances for pests to spread disease.

also the poor pigs. :(

It can also depend on exactly what you’re doing cycling, you can cycle slowly for 3 hours and it will be basically the most calorifically efficient mode of self-propelled transport possible (except for like recumbent cycling I think).
