Although meat-eating is on the increase in China, so too is vegan dining.

Pri’s The World reports that there is a growing vegan trend throughout the country, including in many of the major cities.

Interviewed on the show, pop singer turned vegan advocate, Long Kuan, said: “The young generation, especially, they love to be eco-friendly, and they love to be compassionate.”

Around four to five per cent of China’s population (more than 50 million) are thought to be vegetarian.
