I don't think they realize that Westerners don't eat dogs, and in many cases, prefer the company of dogs to other humans. Like the saying goes, "if you want a friend in this city, get a dog".

Poor distribution of wealth, horrible working conditions, intense nationalism, increased military spending, and ever increasing territorial claims. I think I have an idea how this story ends.

The Chinese servers I play on often include common-sense rules such as "no hacking" and "no Japanese or dogs."

With its hyper-nationalist, authoritarian political system, China could be on the verge of real fascism. Let's hope they don't take up fascist-style foreign policy to promote domination of the Chinese people. Presently, China is a clear winner through free trade and cooperative relations with its neighbors but I'd hate to see what happens if trade relations falter or the country hits a major economic downturn - there may emerge bona fide fascist elements - not a pretty picture.
