In China, crayfish is king. Chinese people consume 90% of the world’s crayfish every year.

In China, crayfish is king. Chinese people consume 90% of the world’s crayfish every year. But the species they eat is not actually native to China. Just a few decades ago, it wasn’t even considered food. So how did crayfish end up becoming such a beloved dish?

Quote

Lately, we’ve been getting this question a lot: “Why do Chinese people eat everything?” But is it true? Where did this stereotype come from, and how do people in China feel about it?

 

This is “Why Chinese,” a new series where we’re debunking common stereotypes about Chinese people one Google search at a time.

Surviving coronavirus in a 6x3 foot cage home

 

from Goldthread

 

Imagine going through a coronavirus lockdown inside a 6-by-3-foot box. That’s the reality of thousands of poor Hong Kong residents who live in cramped “coffin homes.” At a time when most people are staying home to stay safe, some of Hong Kong’s poorest face a painful dilemma: Is it safer to sleep at home or on the street?
