China is widely known for some of the gastronomic peculiarities can be found on their land.
In recent weeks a very popular dish, apparently, in southern China, has raised quite a stir and have not been few foreign media that echoed the story.
turns out that in Guangdong Province (or canton, home of Cantonese food as we know) there are a few restaurants who are serving a prized dish, which is advertised as a detoxifier, that is, without more ado, in chicken, but has been bitten previously, and to death by a poisonous snake.
A video began circulating on the Chinese Internet portals, in which could be seen as an enduring cook a live chicken in one hand, and forced a snake bite the bird until it died poisoned.
No sample has been poisoned by this curious dish, but the way to slaughter the chickens has caused outrage spread quickly by speaking forums and blogs china.
a result of which the government has asked the affected restaurants that you please to stop serving the dish.
In the West, online forums and blogs are merely a way of communicating people, but in China, the blogosphere has more power than you think. Even with the disadvantage censorship, the Chinese have found in internet how to extend their protest and be heard on issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
The central government is paying close attention to what is said, is said to account and it is rumored, on the net and thanks to this social pressure is absent so far in China. Even local government figures have been dismissed for information leaked on the Web.
a couple of weeks ago was news for a hotel employee, who had been arrested for stabbing a local government official. Internet began to run the information that the officer in question had tried to force the girl to have sex with him, and this had acted in self defense, stabbing the master, in order to escape the abuse.
Again, popular outrage forced the government to investigate the matter and because of this, it is assumed that the girl will have a trial, who knows if fair, but a trial at least.
If I have learned over the years is China, here is what they say or do Chinese Internet users can move mountains.
Is not this partly fills a legal vacuum, a vacuum of rights, although not the way we understand in the West?, Is not this a form of democracy?
say it is not as it should be, or that it is desirable, nor that it is enough, say, that the government is listening to the people, but only act popular pressure, it is clear that pressure sometimes works.
