I spent several years in China.
Some of the things I saw while there was disgusting.
Fruit and vegetables grown on the side of the road in drainage areas, full of filth and pollution.
Fish caught in rivers so filthy that it's unsafe to even get the water on you hands.
The "fresh" food market was even more of an eye opener, the stench alone was enough to make you sick.
The farmers and workers shite in the fields as a form of fertilizer, vegetables are washed in toxic water.
While in China I was very careful
Only used bottled water, even to clean my teeth.
Only are Australian meat and salmon from outside of China.
Only are at quality restaurants who sold quality food.
China has a very strict health regulation system
They have emoji attached to the front of all eating establishments
A smiley face means they are clean and do the right thing
A sad face means do t go there, and they usually shut down and start again elsewhere.
If they advertise meat from Australia and they don't have proof that it's what the sell
They get shut down, not even a sad emoji, just shut down.
In all the years I travel in and around China, I was sick only once.
And tgat was from a Qantas in flight meal.
Now, India, totally different story
Avoid the place like the plague or that's what you will get
Pakistan is no better
One of our managers went to India, got so sick he was off for 6 months
Came back to work and had lost nearly 35 kilo, and could still not stomach some foods.
