If anyone has seen the horrific and unwatchable footage of the Chinese cat and dog trade - animals skinned alive - then they could not possibly argue in favour of China as a caring nation.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet. ↗
