    and what makes you think it's not true either? China is a pretty big country almost all Chinese are good people and we all know that however there is also the remaining small portion of people that are NOT. These people are not just in China but exists in every country all around the world.

    Just because you read something on the internet, doesn't mean it's true
    http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/fetus.asp

    Quotes from Snopes

    "One of the downsides of a burgeoning Internet is it fosters the delirious spread of misinformation as revealed fact in the blink of an eye. That was the case when a widely-circulated photo which showed a large Asian man eating what Man eating roast 'baby' appeared to be a cooked baby was taken by many at face value. The picture was later teamed with the breathless news that roast fetus was now the hottest dining craze in Taiwan, with outraged e-mails offering the offensive picture as an attachment the recipient could view himself.

    The truth proved far less horrifying than the rumor. Taiwan maintains the same attitude towards cannibalism as the rest of the world; the practice is as abhorrent there as it is anywhere else.... Nonetheless, it's a measure of our cultural credulity that people can still be so easily led to believe that inhabitants of another part of the world regularly violate mankind's strongest taboo, cannibalism (by eating dead babies, to boot), based solely on a picture of unknown origin...The photo shown above was taken seriously by a number of important agencies who viewed it, and both Scotland Yard and the FBI investigated this matter, trying to determine when and where the picture was taken and the identities of those appearing in it. Its origin was quickly uncovered: The man in the photo is Chinese artist Zhu Yu, who performed a conceptual piece called "Eating People" at a Shanghai arts festival in 2000. The controversial photo has since been part of a number of art exhibits."

    I think cannibalism happens in most part of this world, but this is one of those that got exposed

    Assuming and stating in general that 'Chinese' people eat babies after finding out one or a few of them do so, is like assuming and stating 'American' people fake attacks on their house to get an excuse to raid other peoples houses to get their hands on their resources, just because the Bush administration did so. Or like assuming and stating that 'Muslim or Pakistani' people are suicide bombers just because of a few of them utilizing that sick method to spread terror.
    Stereotyping and excessively generalizing anything about a nation, religion or any other group, based on the activities of a few members of that group, is very irrational and it promotes differences in a world which desperately needs understanding and peace between people coming from different backgrounds.
