It's interesting to see how some people can come come in on their high horse and start ranting about what the Chinese have been practicing for centuries is wrong and needs to stop immediately.
1) I'm not endorsing their practices, nor do I agree that they should. They need to educate the population and perhaps start the same style of "Save The Endangered" campaign which seems to work very well in the West - i.e. Aww, look at this cute and cuddly thing, we need to save it. (Whilst at the same time ignoring the more ugly ones e.g. Malayan pangolin.)
2) Have a look at how many products you purchase contains palm tree oil and see how many grounds are burnt to grow masses and masses of palm trees. Just because you're not directly destroying an endangered species, don't mean you're a saint.
Again, it's educating and rasing awareness. Let the general population know, especially the new generation and they will change their thoughts. Just because you don't agree don't mean one country should be nuked or be condemned forever. Raise awareness and stop waltzing in like you're a saint pointing at another unlrelated group and blame them.
We all had to step over someones toes to get somewhere, just because you got somewhere before everyone else, don't make you the better person.
