Chinese food is unregulated. Gutter Oil is very common. For all the things this guy says about noodles and dumplings, I never once heard this from anyone in China. Moon cakes are only for mid-autumn festival and most people I met view them as tasteless and useless as fruitcake at Christmas. I'm starting to wonder which CCP shill gave out all this information.
