> This is the biggest, richest, most international city of China and people are starving, without medicine, and without freedom. Ouch. Seems like a really bad situation.
The article provides no direct evidence of people starving, only that 'We cannot freely choose our recipes'. There is also a picture of 3 fresh fish!

Kind of crazy how sentimental and emotional the response is with barely any actual discussion going on about the merits of this on a grand scale.
