    Putting milk in tea is popular in Taiwan, Tibet , Thailand and Hong Kong, (and Europe) whereas it’s less so in most of China. So they made a hashtag about not being “mainland Chinese”.

      that remaining 20% has a microbiome that reacts badly to milk (and this is changeable), but the vast, VAST majority of lactose “intolerant” people don’t
