no, the world really doesn't give a rat's ass about cannibalism. Western countries only find it atrocious if one of their own citizens/people partake in the practice. African and South American Tribes eat their rivals and "fellow" humans all the time. Now, you may say that is is on account of their being "uncivilized" as you stated earlier

but really, not all of China is developed. Far from it, actually. There are countless random villages all over China that basically live in the stone age. One cannot simply generalize a whole country as "civilized" merely because a small fraction of it is developed.
