>in the black market of this Chinese village in inner mongolia, we can see the locals cooking unsanitary fish found in a scum ridden river as was tradition since the founding of the communist dictatorship of maozedong who killed 99 million people and destroyed all cooking records following the cultural revolution, as you can see here they are to be boiled in a small pot and cooked with rice, they are extremely smelly and disgusting but we couldn't say that, fearing the authorities may confiscate our films, for more documentaries on china, this is the BBC Four
