Soylent green?  No, serious, a kebab stand owner got busted for selling the meat of a guy recently murdered.  He actually bought the body and processed it.  Few people can accept that China and NK aren't that different in some dark ways.

 

Also, considering that tens of millions of Chinese were starved to pay for China's nuke program.  A million are buried in the Great Wall.  Dont' be surprised to see people over 50 who aren't high skilled engineers, technicians, teachers, business people or family of influential people pushed to the back of the food, water and shelter lines.  Same for "village idlers" who are under 50.

 

 

Yeah, saw that. China's first "eco city".  More like the "paradise cities" on the NK side of the DMZ, all unoccupied and decaying.

 

Makes you wonder what kind of debacle will result from the super eco-city being built on the wildlife preserve called Chongming Island.

its not a consumer society yet - its still an export dominated economy
