plant-based protein options still play a major role in diets
said as if it were a bad thing
No it isn't?
From the article:
But the Chinese people are also showing that it is possible to increase protein consumption without eating as much meat as the Americans, which also benefits the planet.
Why are the Chinese not aiming for the Big Chungus physique? Why are they so scared of it? Could it be a CCP PROPAGANDA??
Yeah this one is very confusing. Tofu is delicious in Chinese food. Mapo tofu is one of the greatest treasures we have available to us. You can't "replace" the tofu in that dish with a meat, it wouldn't work at all.
The whole idea that something like tofu just exists without being a meat substitute is unimaginable to a lot of people
"meat substitution" type dishes are stupid anyway. There are thousands of years of delicious non-meat meals, built around the ingredients as they are. Dishes don't need meat at all to be delicious, just construct your dishes around the ingredients you have and they'll be wonderful. Trying to shoehorn in "replacements" just creates weird stuff.

the volatile American tends to get abnormally antsy and restless, especially when in the company of their peers. one instance that these symptoms may occur in is when ambient bloodlust isn't being maximized. to address this, they may need to be provided external enrichment to distract themselves with–for instance: burger that requires a saving throw to survive
These Amerikkkans looked at the myth of the wendigo, and just thought it was a model...

DAE LE EPIC BACON marketing and its consequences have been a disaster.
Literally the cringe American soylent green nightmare meat slop v.s. the based gigachad Chinese soybean-based plant protien.
The duality of soy.
Tofu and tempeh are both staples in my diet and last I checked I’m still alive.
oh yeah sorry meaning to say that american meat protein is literally soylent green type pink slime in the original sense. Various parts from like 9 different dead diseased mass produced animals, all of which spent their entire lives drowning in their own shit and piss, either sold whole or blended together and formed into patties for consumption.
shouldve specified I meant this instead of the reactionary use of "soylent" to mean plant based meat substitutes

There were several such studies, if I recall. The CIA report is not the only one.
these stories will continue to be ignored or distorted (bUt At WhAt cOsT?) until China's sputnik moments start coming, at which point bourgeois media will go into panic mode
It’s gonna be on the renewables/battery cells. The West has been huffing the “but China pollutes more than us!” copium for so long that there’s no acknowledgement of how much China has been building out and investing in that sector. So when fossil fuel costs become untenable, the West will look to renewables and batteries only to find China has the supply and manufacturing corned. At which point there will be a panic, probably some whining that China was somehow being unethical in preparing for the energy shift,
I could also see it on fusion power. I know fusion power is always 10 years away but it's always 10 years away because nobody has invested into it. China actually is in a more meaningful way that could make it happen. Imagine a nation that produces so much of the world's shit being able to produce it on extremely low cost fusion power. There would be no competition
I've seen "fusion is always 40 years away" slowly decrease to "fusion is always 10 years away" over my lifetime and at a certain point I wonder if the problem is just that people don't know how long a year is.

probably some whining that China was somehow being unethical in preparing for the energy shift,
Funnily enough, one of the more common theories circulating for decades is that the western oil and energy companies have been stifling alternative solutions and research for all that time and are just sitting on ready tech to roll out when the oil runs out. Current events already proven that while the first part of that theory is undeniably correct, second one is not, as if monopoly corpos ever planned that much for the future.
Yeah, every other 'working class" (media guy larping as a factory worker) complains about how 'unethical Chinese production is' as if American companies keep their noses clean.

And to make matters worse, being Chinese food rather than American, those pesky Chinese are also eating much tastier food than yanks.

The Chinese agricultural system is a modern miracle, feeding over a billion people to such a high standard with the limited amount of land and resources they have. China has one third of the arable land of the United States, yet they feed four times more people, to a higher standard even!
Bro no joke when watching the Olympics there were Americans mad that the Chinese were winning swimming and guys were on about "that country putting on a display of power for their country while their people are starving". Shit I seen I was wondering what century I'm in
My mom made the comment China forces their people to become athletes against their will. In my head, I thought "Oh as opposed to the US who has kids subject themselves to traumatic brain injuries every week or else they don't get to go to college and lose their scholarships?"

People are so much healthier here. It's very inspiring. Made me start taking an interest in my physical health again.
: “concerning! The evil CCP forces its citizens to care for their health, denying hardworking insurance companies their well-deserved profits and will hurt the economy at large! Besides, creating a better society for poors instead of the business class is so….weird…alien and other thinly veiled racist remarks to dehumanize China!”
Definitely impressive but don’t they also import a lot of food?
Net importer of about $137 billion deficit for food. This is a tenfold increase from 2003.
lol no, china imports more food than anyone else.
So nobody's gonna comment on the weird-ass thumbnail? Ok...
yeah wtf? some sort of restaurant bathouse fusion?
Voluntarily making myself into an Elmer Fudd style rabbit stew.

Important to note that supply != consumption and that you still need to account for wastage, which (at least in the US) is significant. The most wasted categories of food tend to be perishable animal products and a lot of that wastage happens at the household level, so it's difficult to tell how much of that is actually being consumed.
