Why do chinese eat raw fish?!
Answers:
Although Sushi is most commonly linked to the Japanese heritage, it actually began in China during the 7th Century!.
At that time, any fish caught had to be preserved!. The only method possible was by fermentation!. Raw fish was cleaned, filleted, and then pressed between layers of heavy salt and usually weighted down with some type of stone!. The fish would remain this way for weeks at which the stone would be removed and then replaced with some type of light cover!. The fish would stay in the salt layers for a couple of months until the fermentation process was complete!.
Over time, a discovery was made that by rolling the fish in rice that had been soaked in vinegar the fish was fermented in a matter of days rather than months!. The rice was then tossed out and the fish eaten!. However, with drought and a food shortage, the people began consuming the rice as well as the fish and thus, Sushi as we know it today was born!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eating raw fish (sashimi) is part of Japanese cuisine, NOT CHINESE!.
Japan and China are NOT the same!. They don't even speak the same language and their cuisine is sooo different!.
