I got a new one yesterday. White guy in Hong Kong says to me “no you mustn’t eat pork when you go to the Mainland, that’s how they hide the bodies.” This was from someone who takes as a point of pride that they read the NYT cover-to-cover every day, but idk where they got this gem from.

So in case anyone’s wondering, according to this guy the “CCP” has been promoting pork as a major part of Chinese cuisine (Which Chinese cuisine you ask? All of them) because it tastes similar to human flesh. He says “you’ve got to tip your hat to them” because it’s evil genius: it lets them hide evidence of their crimes and it solves famine issues.

The best bit, he then says to me, dead serious: “how else do you think North Korea did so well in the Olympics?”
