If this isn`t a wake up call to them and the world I don`t know what is.
This is what you get after 3 generation of communist education. Anything and everything is tolerable as long as you remain loyal to the party. They don’t teach universal values and social behaviour.

Coronavirus: Bank of England considers printing money for households
Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey on Wednesday, 18 March, suggested that the central bank was considering printing money and giving it directly to UK households, noting that “everything is on the table.”
Bailey, who began his term as governor on Monday, said that the Bank of England would “do what it takes to meet the needs of the economy and the needs of the people of this country.”
Responding to a question in a Sky News interview about the measures that the bank was considering — such as cutting interest rates to zero, and even printing money to give directly to households — Bailey said: “Everything is on the table that is reasonable, within the policy toolset.”
"We have a very large toolkit,” he said. “I don't rule anything out, frankly, but please don't therefore interpret it that we're about to do it either.”
“I think nobody in their right mind in my role would say, ‘well, you know the following things I would never do’ — because that's foolish.”
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Bailey also suggested that the Bank of England was willing to pump unlimited quantities of money into the economy using its new commercial paper facility.
The scheme, which was announced by chancellor Rishi Sunak on Tuesday, aims to help businesses across a range of sectors to pay wages and suppliers.
“You know the thing that was announced yesterday is in many ways was quite a large step forward in terms of the operations the Bank of England does, because we haven't set any limit,” Bailey said.
“We will meet the needs of the economy.”
Sunak on Tuesday also announced a further £20bn in stimulus measures — on top of those announced in last week’s budget — and an additional £330bn in government-backed loans for businesses, equivalent to 15% of GDP.

As opposed to capitalism with its utopian values
The Reserve will go onto standby shortly, apparently.
I've seen first hand in their markets what filthy gets some of them are like, plus the absolute disregard for animal welfare like you said.
At this one fish and meat market in Chengdu they were keeping fish in like washing up-style containers; whenever somebody would point out which fish s/he wanted the woman selling would pick up the fish and slam it onto the concrete floor to kill it. If it was still moving after the first slam she picked it up again and repeated it. Once the fish was no longer moving, she'd pick it up with her hands and place it in a plastic bag.
Same market, they're selling meat placed on a counter top and hanging off hooks in the middle of spring (when I was there). The locals would poke and prod the meat with their bare hands to determine if they wanted that specific cut or not. They'd pick it up, inspect it, then place it back down if they weren't satisfied with it.
To put that into some context, the majority of people in these areas are spitting and blowing their snot directly onto the streets all day, they're allowing their children to go to the toilet in the middle of the streets (literally pulling their pants down and letting them do their business up a wall or over a grid), and themselves they have nowhere to wash their hands after going to the public toilets - which themselves are just holes in the ground anyway.
Pretty kin disgusting, yes.
Not the most extreme example, I know, but just what I experienced one of the times I was there.
Also, I love China and met many interesting and friendly people there, and I cannot wait to go back as soon as this virus is over and done with. But their animal welfare and general cleanliness leaves an awful lot to be desired.
