Recently, the author found two interesting reports about donkeys on CNN, both of which were on the homepage of CNN's website, which made people feel that the observation of China in the United States is really getting more and more nuanced, which shows the strength of China.

Regarding the burning of donkey meat, CNN described it this way: "From steamed bread to hot pot, China food has often proved to be very popular in the West." . Now, restaurant owners in China have begun to introduce the next delicious food-donkey meat burger (fire) to the western market. This unusual dish is undoubtedly very popular in Beijing. There is a proverb in China: "There is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground."

The article also introduces the chain store "Wang Pangzi Huoshao Donkey Meat" and the importance of Donkey Meat on the family table in China. I have to say that this article is quite true and objective. Wang Pangzi donkey meat is really delicious. Most donkey meat is very popular in Hebei and Xinjiang. People from other provinces don't catch a cold very much.

There are signs that people's demand for donkey meat is increasing, but the market scale is shrinking. This is because the number of donkeys raised by livestock has decreased by nearly 50% in the past ten years.

Another article also reported the sharp increase in demand for Ejiao in China. According to statistics, China enterprises need about 4.8 million donkey skins to make Ejiao every year.

Since 1992, the number of donkeys in China has decreased by 76%, so the industry has turned to foreign suppliers, especially those in Africa, Asia and South America. The chain reaction is that the number of donkeys in Brazil has decreased by 28%, Botswana by 37% and Kyrgyzstan by 53%.

"This kind of pain is not limited to donkeys, but also threatens the livelihood of millions of people." Because donkeys are the means of transportation in some underdeveloped areas.

Some international experts also questioned the rationality of Ejiao: "Although these gelatin products have medicinal value, they are not necessary to be used in the practice of modern Chinese medicine and do not conform to the current purchase ethics. Gelatin in beef, pork or chicken can completely replace Ejiao. Vegetarians can use some kinds of seaweed and herbs instead of Ejiao.

From these two reports, it is not difficult to find that China's food culture has quietly penetrated into all walks of life in the United States, and people have shown unprecedented curiosity about all economic activities in China. This really proves the author's view that all cultural expansion is accompanied by economic expansion.
