Only parts of southern China, and parts of Korea eat dog. (Might be some other regions I’m unaware of. More freaky, and looked down on for it by the rest of China is Guangdong’s eating of monkey brains).
It’s probably a lot more regions than you’re aware of. A professor of mine used to love telling stories about going home during the summer, and his cousins would tell him he had to dig deep in the stew pot, because the puppy (the tender meat) was at the bottom. He would always end it by explaining they didn’t raise dogs as pets, but just the same as cows or pigs. He was native american.
I can’t tell whether you’re being downvoted because people don’t like the china-dog-eating stereotype, or because this is not the correct answer to “why China?”.
why China?
They eat dogs, allegedly.
Is there any problem with eating dogs? Some people eat cows OMG!

pretty sure the monkey brain stuff is just urban legends…
It’s hard for me to forget the video with a pile of dogs skinned alive and still moving.
Arguably, racism applies to people, not to countries and their laws.
