They are a very impressive snake ...HUGE(not all snake shows have them de fanged?) ...I seen a vid by RB he showed that a Cobra cant throw its head back ..so he was able to get his hand on top and push it down (not that it would be a common thing to do ) but he was explaining that this can be done with this type of snake, but cant do it with our eastern brown ...(so my point being, how they show act with their cobras ..the show would be a fair bit different if they were using our eastern browns ...I dont know anyone that would Kiss an EB on top of its head... lol )

No, not all of the snakes are defanged, but most of the asian animals at least are kept in sub standard conditions and most still use mesh cages and the snake rub their noses off. KC tend to give plenty of warning and mock strikes, huff and puff ect before actually biting, add that to the fact that most Cobras are easily fooled by movement and you have a very workable snake if you have the balls to want to.
