Yeah fucking bugs. This festival— Yulin Dog Meat and Lychee festival— coincides with the solstice. Some torture the dogs first before slaughter because of a belief that adrenaline makes the meat more tasty.
Dog meat consumption is more common in southern China than the north, as well as many countries in southeast asia like Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, etc. Tens of millions of dogs are eaten in this region yearly.
Koreans seem to do it alot and have some sort of “dog wine” they drink. Polynesians and native americans all consumed alot of dog meat historically. SS Africans eat it (surprise), where its considered a delicacy or medicinal in some places.
TIL, the Irish mythic hero Cú Chulainn made two vows, one of which was to avoid dog meat and the other was to never refuse hospitality. When he is offered a dinner of dog’s meat, he breaks one of his vows, losing his invulnerability, and is subsequently killed in battle the next day.

Yeah Ive known Koreans. They didnt eat dog. It’s embarrassing for a lot of them. I think the more cosmopolitian east asians are conscious of how disgusting the rest of the world thinks it is not associated with prestige. Its a much bigger problem in southeast asia.
If it was only Koreans it wouldnt be so bad. I think we misunderstand China, thinking that that Han are really a single ethnic group. The southern areas were closer to the Vietnamese and Thais ethnically but have become mixed with Chinese people from the north that conquered and assimilated them. I think that like in the west, the further south you go, the shittier and more corrupt the behavior is.
I dont think the future looks too bright for chinks either btw. They appear to be making all the same mistakes we are. Their elites will screw over their middle class fro short term gains just like us. And that is killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
