AB - Western voices claim that China needs “to discredit engrained cultural beliefs” to make the country’s ban on wildlife trade workable (seeJ. Ribeiroet al. Nature578, 217; 2020). This stereotyped perception of Chinese society disregards the country’s huge support for the ban, thanks to efforts by conservationists and the government, as well as evidence that traditional wild-meat consumption is in decline — particularly in the young and in large urban areas (see, for example,go.nature.com/3d8za5iandgo.nature.com/33qglzs; in Chinese).
