Yes you are. And so are so many other critics out there. People want the world to be self-rightous and they want to be noble, but I bet if it came to sacrificing a bit of their life style, they wouldn't.

And why just China? Why not other Asian states? Are things cruel in China vs the Western world? Yes, to think this is a isolated case of cruelty or brutality is, well, just ignorant. This happens in a lot of countries in the world. And even in the Western world, there are tons of things we do for our own selfish reasons that hurt animals or other people in some fashion. The Western world we live in is pretty well known for stepping on the backs of others so we can live a luxurious lifestyle. This might not necessarily be you, but its many people in this world.
