I heard that unless you have seven years supply of toilet paper stashed in your bathroom vanity, your'e three hundred times more likely to contract Covid-19.

That's also not saying much if something (or group) is banned in a communist country

Why go through all that trouble?
They’d still have to get rid of the corpses .... If true ( and I hope it isn’t ) it would actually be more efficient because they’d be skipping a step in not killing them in their beds first.

So don't expect them to be honest about China. I mean, they created the media right in order to attack China government. (Not to say they don't have the right to do so.)

Nothing China does is surprising. I have seen Chinese people hock up a lung and spit it on the floor of an airplane. Not by accident either. The lights come on and it looks like a landfill around their seats. You learn quickly, not to fly Mainland china based airlines.

On the news here, they showed a Chinese cook, cooking a dog while it was still alive.

Doesn't everyone know that before a body is cremated, it's run through a large grinder and turned into hamburger? These pictures and the whole premise is bogus. Do these same people think that when they get an urn full of their dear departed's ashes, it's actually their ashes?

That is simply not true. The body is intact when introduced into the retort.

They are complaining over there in China that different effects are returned in urns, including others' personal accessories.

Dumbest post ever? ...or just an odd sense of humor?

Yes.

Also the source. RFA is the US government propaganda arm. McCarthy era with the explicit purpose of being anti-commie. They're usually fairly factual, as is this case, where they say they cannot confirm the rumors but their stated purpose is to destabilize communist regimes after all. They'll run with a story they can't confirm (and say they can't confirm it) to that end. Propaganda wars ftw.

Not really related, but it's sort of like the outrage about Russia meddling in our elections. Of course they are. We do the same thing too but get outraged when someone else does it always struck me as amusing.
