I'm in Asia, so let me just indicate to you that for some stupid reason likely related to previous colonial torture or overlording reasons, some people have retained a distaste for the West. Especially when it comes to US politics, which now involves interfering in other countries, benevolent or otherwise.
In any case, I don't think China will forsake, because they will consider their culture to be on par and will not bow down to greater information. A foolish foolish error. I should also add that there are softshell turtle farms in some parts of China and Taiwan, where they sell parts of the turtle claimed to be able to do things from longevity to curing oral ulcers.
P.S, I'm in neither of those countries, but have toured them nonetheless.
