Chinese cannibalism

Le bloc de foie gras de canard du sud-ouest de la Chine contenait du foie cirrhosé d’origine humaine.

L’employé de la morgue prélevait le foie des cadavres atteint de cirrhose pour les revendre à un distributeur chinois chargé de les incorporer dans des blocs de foie gras de canard du sud-ouest de la Chine vendus à prix imbattables dans les magasins d’alimentation.

A l’approche des fêtes de fin d’année, c’est la consternation qui règne chez les éleveurs de canards après l’annonce de la découverte de présence de foie cirrhosé d’origine humaine dans des blocs de foie gras du sud-ouest de la Chine vendus à prix discount dans des magasins d’alimentation.

Cette monstrueuse affaire de trafic d’organes n’aurait sans doute jamais été mise à jour sans la cupidité d’un employé de la morgue d’un grand hôpital parisien qui menait un train de vie particulièrement démesuré et dispendieux. Alertée, la cellule Tracfin chargée d’enquêter sur le blanchiment de capitaux et la fraude fiscale, n’a pas eu beaucoup de difficulté à mettre à jour le trafic juteux auquel se livrait l’indélicat employé. Perquisitionné et bien incapable de justifier la possession de plusieurs voitures de luxe et d’une somme en liquide de 350 000 euros retrouvée à son domicile, l’employé a été immédiatement placé en garde à vue pour des faits de trafic d’organes humains, d’enrichissement personnel et corruption active.
Celui-ci s’est, dans un premier temps, réfugié dans le mutisme. Devant l’accumulation des faits et son incapacité à justifier l’origine des fonds, l’employé s’est finalement résolu à expliquer le macabre trafic auquel il se livrait.

Ayant accès à la base de données informatiques répertoriant l’origine du décès des cadavres issus d’un grand hôpital parisien spécialisé dans le traitement des cirrhoses, l’employé isolait les patients puis les ouvrait pour en retirer consciencieusement le foie cirrhosé. L’organe, qui pèse 1,5 kg en moyenne, était ensuite revendu 20 euros le kilo à un distributeur mafieux qui le plongeait dans une solution chimique à base d’acide nitrique afin de lui donner le brillant et l’apparence d’un foie de canard. Les lots étaient ensuite congelés puis revendus à une conserverie située dans le sud-ouest de la Chine chargée de les cuire avec de véritables foies de canard. Les conserves étaient ensuite revendues à prix cassés dans des magasins d’alimentation hard-discount.

Lorsqu’on sait que le kilo de foie de canard coûte environ 45 euros , on imagine la confortable marge que réalisait le distributeur. Quant à l’employé de la morgue, il pouvait retirer jusqu’à cinquante foies par jour sur les cadavres dont il avait la charge. Ce qui lui laissait espérer en moyenne un gain journalier de 1500 euros soit 45 000 euros par mois. On comprend maintenant pourquoi celui-ci ne comptait pas ses heures et renonçait même quelquefois à faire valoir ses droits à RTT.

Suite à la révélation de ce scandale, les lots chinois incriminés ont tous été retirés de la vente mais il peut encore subsister quelques blocs de foie gras stockés dans les réserves des magasins ou chez des particuliers. Les consommateurs sont donc invités à faire preuve de la plus grande vigilance sur l’origine de leurs conserves. Les autorités sanitaires rappellent qu’il est quasiment impossible de déceler au goût un foie cirrhosé humain, celui-ci présentant même une saveur subtile légèrement plus prononcée que celle d’un véritable foie de canard qui, il faut le savoir, est lui-même un foie cirrhosé obtenu par le procédé du gavage. Seule la présence de pustules et de nécroses nervurées peuvent trahir la macabre origine du foie humain.

Chinese soft power: Hollywood take-over on the cards in quest for cultural influence

The term "soft power" has been thrown around the media and academic circles for the last couple of years, but its currency has heightened in regards to Australia's relationship with China.
By MATTHEW CARNEY

Xi Jinping's directions for China's soft power strategy are specific: "To give a good Chinese narrative and better communicate China's messages to the world. To be portrayed as a civilised place featuring a rich history, with good government and developed economy, cultural prosperity and diversity and beautiful mountains and rivers."

All countries practise some form of soft power — the ability to coax and persuade other countries that their culture and values are desirable — through organisations like the British Institutes, Alliance Française or the Goethe Institutes.
American soft power regularly tops the tables and largely because of its popular culture, like Hollywood films or corporate labels like Levis.
In North Asia, South Korea has been successful with K-pop songs like Gangnam Style.
It is a recognition that for nations to be powerful they need more than economic might and military threat. 

They need soft power.
Soft power is by its very nature not coercive and is determined by its ability to appeal and attract others.
China has realised this and come to the game much later than most other countries. 

In the late 2000s, it identified "the threat theory" that much of the Western world sees China as distinctly unfriendly.
Now China is devoting billions to try to refashion its image.
Xi Jinping has made it a priority and has said China has to become a "cultural superpower".
His directions for China's soft power strategy are specific: "To give a good Chinese narrative and better communicate China's messages to the world. To be portrayed as a civilised place featuring a rich history, with good government and developed economy, cultural prosperity and diversity and beautiful mountains and rivers."
A big part of the plan is to take over Hollywood. 

The Chinese want to take back some of the popular global narrative to drive their message home. 

It means no longer will China be presented as the bad guy, but as a noble civilised place as Xi wants.
The Chinese have the market power to make sure it happens.
In 2018, China will become the world's biggest box office, surpassing America, and it will keep growing, at least doubling before peaking.
Now in China, 22 new cinemas open everyday.
Hollywood producers are now considering the "China factor" in any future profitability. 

Stories and narratives are changing to become more appealing to the Chinese. 

Many of the world's future blockbusters will be made in China.
When the Oriental Movie Metropolis in the Chinese coastal city of Qingdao becomes operational next year it will dwarf any Hollywood studio.
Thirty big-budget films are slated in first couple of years. 

The first, The Great Wall, with a budget of $180 million, has Hollywood star Matt Damon playing the suspicious savage who is finally convinced by a noble Chinese warlord and beautiful maiden to take up the good Chinese fight.
The man in charge of making the reality a vision is Wang Jianlin — China's Rupert Murdoch — and he has the backing of the top leadership.
Wang is a party member and spent 16 years in the People's Liberation Army before he quit to build a real estate and media empire.
Wang has gone on a $10-billion buying spree and is buying up Hollywood one piece at a time. 

He has bought US production house Legendary Entertainment and Dick Clark Studios.
He has also purchased AMC entertainment — the second-biggest cinema chain in the US — as well as snapping up Europe's biggest cinema group Odeon and Hoyts in Australia.
A big part of Xi Jinping's plan for China to become a "cultural superpower" is to take over Hollywood. 

Australia 'fertile ground' for China's soft power
But film is just one part of China's soft power strategy. 

The Government has put $10 billion into promoting Chinese traditional culture and language. 

It has set up 500 Confucius institutes in 140 countries all controlled by the Central Propaganda Committee in Beijing.
Australia has been fertile ground for China's soft power. 

Fourteen Confucius Institutes have been established at Australian universities and 60 schools around Australia have introduced Confucius classrooms.
Many say it is smart and proper to establish a bigger understanding and deeper relationship with our biggest trading partner. 

But others say the Confucius institutes overstep the mark, and attempts at soft power backfire when the Chinese try to control what can be said about human rights or the independence of Taiwan or Tibet.
Chinese "values" clash with Australian ideals of freedom of speech and inquiry.
There are a growing number of Australian academics like former ambassador to China Stephen Fitzgerald, who say the Confucius institutes should be scrutinised much more as they compromise academic integrity.
At Peking University I had the good fortune to hear the man who invented the term 'soft power' and inspired the Chinese leadership to take up the cause, Harvard professor Joseph Nye.
But Professor Nye says China's soft power has fundamental flaws.
Its claims in the South China Sea undermine attempts to make it appear friendly or attractive. 

Also, its program is being driven by the top leadership and not the people.
Professor Nye says soft power is usually more successful if it comes from the grass roots and is not a dictated program.
"Civil society is really crucial to developing soft power and I think it's very difficult for the party to unleash the full talents of China's civil society," he says.
Professor Nye says it will be some time yet before China overtakes America as the dominant global power, so in the meantime, get ready for more Chinese "heroes" at the movies.

China's 3,000-Year-Old Barbarity

CHINESE EAT HUMAN BABY SOUP TO IMPROVE HEALTH & BOOST SEXUAL PERFORMANCE
By Lestado Codicus

Chinese are known to be eating babies, and the news, which has been circulating through the internet and via email, is shocking the world.
An email report received by The Seoul Times confirmed that news with several vivid and appalling pictures of human embryos and fetuses being made into a soup for human consumption.
The report went on. 

A town in the southern province of Guangdong is now in focus. 

Chinese folks there are enjoying baby herbal soup to increase overall health and stamina and the power of sexual performance in particular.
The cost in Chinese currency is approximately Rs 2,000 (which is about US$4,000).

A factory manager was interviewed and he testified that it is effective because he is a frequent customer.
It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for eight hours.
He pointed to his second wife next to him. 

She is 19 years old. 

The 62-year-old man testified that they have sex everyday.
After waiting for a couple of weeks he took the reporter to the restaurant when he was informed by the restaurant manager that the spare rib soup (local code for baby soup) was now available.

A human baby is dumped into the water for boiling in China.

This time, a couple who already has two daughters decided to abort the child after receiving confirmation that it was another girl. 

The baby was already five months old.
Those babies who are close to be born and die naturally costs 2000 in China currency. 

Those aborted ones cost a few hundreds in China currency.
Those couples who did not want to sell dead babies, placentas can be accepted also for couple of hundreds.
One local reporter was quoted as saying that this is the problem arising from Chinese taking too much attention in health or is the backfire effect when China introduced one child in a family policy.
This heinous crimes rise from the fact that majority of Chinese people prefer to have male babies and the poor families end up selling their female babies.3000
Dead babies can be purchased in China for 70 US dollars for being used as grilled delicacies.

Police Raids Noodle Soup Restaurant in China for Serving “Libido Boosters”
by Inah Garcia

Dead fetuses lined up like fish in the market.

A new photo featuring dead fetuses being sold in China has circulated in the social media once again. Although information about the exact circumstances behind the photo were limited, police found this in a noodle soup restaurant in China. 

The person who uploaded the photo said the fetuses were lined up and being sold like fish. 

You can notice three people in the background who are probably the vendors of the fetuses.
Netizens have expressed their disgust over the photo and shared some very strong words of aversion towards this practice. 

As this new photo appears to be totally different from the ones posted a few years back, it is shocking to know that this still continues to happen.
The public speculates that these fetuses were aborted so that their mothers can escape the sanctions of China’s one-child policy. 

The said policy dictates that families should only have one child, unless if the first born is a girl. 

According to the US State Department, Parliament of the United Kingdom, and the human rights organization Amnesty International, China’s family planning schemes may contribute to infanticide, or infant homicide, which pertains to the “intentional killing of children under the age of 12 months.”
Some netizens even commented that a handful of restaurants offer “soup number 5,” which is said to be composed of whole fetuses. 

This soup is also believed to taste delicious and enhance sexual desire.
