China's freedom of speech is great. I know because someone kept posting about Matt Miller and Falun Gong and he never got executed.

But that's not what you said, retard. You said: "In China, people do not eat eggrolls or fortune cookies: there are no such things."
You didn't say, "In China, people do not eat what we know as egg rolls."
I have to assume that you didn't know that there are items regularly eaten in China that are called egg rolls, likely because you exclusively ate KFC cooked lovingly in 10 myle sewer oil, and/or you don't actually know the Chinese language.
I am very embarrassed for you but I am sure you will recover from this humiliating event!

I find the argument about what is real and what is not regarding food somewhat silly.
Egg rolls based on quick research. Invented in California as something Chinese 1st Gen immigrants cooked for railroad workers and gold miners.
Virtually all the recipes have NO EGG in them. All fried and the argument is that the real deal are Spring rolls, not fried except in Hong Kong.
The primary difference is ONLY in the thickness of the wrapper.
The supposed expert on China at MC speaks from a Yunnan Province, Southwest China point of view. The primary ingredient for seasonings are AMERICAN Chile Peppers.
Meta take note that again blame the Portuguese because they took the Chili peppers to China in trade for Egg Roll recipes

Hot Stuff--The chili pepper is eaten by more than a quarter of the world's population each day, making it
"the most used spice and condiment in the world." Chilis, a product of the nightshade family, solanaceae, of the genus capsicum, are native to the southern Brazilian highlands and were already being consumed by humans almost 10,000 years ago. They were first cultivated between 5,000 and 3,000 BCE.

How the Chili Pepper Got to China--In America, much of Chinese food is actually Hunanese or Sichuanese food, often served at restaurants offering interregional menus. The prevalence of the chili pepper in these two regions' dishes leads many Americans to associate the chili pepper with China at large. In fact, many Chinese also consider the chili pepper "native." It plays such a vital role in China's regional cuisine that even locals in Sichuan and Hunan are not aware that it is not indigenous to their areas.

So not only is Chinese food from China full of bacteria and insects, it's also unhealthy calorie wise.

Unless they come from Panda outlets, they are filled with vermin or worse; not to mention the oil they are cooked in.

Tired of fast food? Well, now you can travel to China and try some "pest food." As the country suffers from a plague of a reported 2 billion rats displaced by a flooded lake, many of the creepy creatures are being trucked from central China to the booming south to end up in fancy restaurant dishes, Chinese media reported.
Rats had been doing a roaring trade thanks to strong supply over the last two weeks, the China News Service quoted vendors as saying.
"Recently there have been a lot of rats... Guangzhou people are rich and like to eat exotic things, so business is very good," it quoted a vendor as saying, referring to the capital of Guangdong province, where people are reputed to eat anything that moves.
Some vendors, who declined to reveal their names, had asked people from a village in Hunan province, near Dongting Lake, to sell them live rats, the Beijing News said Monday.
"The buyers offered 6 yuan [79 cents] for a kilogram [2.2 pounds], but as to where they will sell the rats, they would not say," the newspaper quoted a local resident as saying, adding that villagers had to catch the rats alive.
Some Guangdong restaurants were promoting "rat banquets," charging 136 yuan ($18) for one kilogram of rat meat, the newspaper said.
