With hundreds of millions of pigs dead from swine fever, exporters are scrambling to fill the gap. But prices are soaring

The cost of living in China has outstripped the 3% government target for the first time in a decade, and a big part of the problem is the soaring price of pork, which is being driven up by a widespread outbreak of African swine fever .

Go veggie and eat soya protein.

pork fried rice.

I like how concerned people are that China is eating the way Americans have for the past century. Typical that our country bitches when other people start acting the way we do.

Ban pork exports to China until they genuinely let HK have the right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, call for an independent police inquiry and universal suffrage

Perhaps China should eat the many excess humans that it has produced.

Free the bacon one

....or David Camerons needs?

☹️

Pork less harm to environment than beef.

I'm sure they'll find a way, cruel bastards

No pork for me. This year for Christmas stuffed Cornish hens. No beef.

so a good market for uk pig farmers then

Was under the impression that China has moved to mega sized CAFOS,where unlike 🇺🇸, the breeding, birthing, weaning and feeding all the way to slaughter happens under the same roof. Biosecurity is impossible in that production method.

Did politicos and their corporate sponsors eat it all?

Plenty of gammon around that they could have.

Shouldn’t be murdering pigs anyway. The amount slaughtered is atrocious. They are the 4th smartest creature on the planet. It needs to be stopped.

Look to other, faster reproducing sources of protein.🐓🐓🐓🐓

But pak can only export donkey.

Time to lay off the pork, China. LiveAndLetLive

We have a lot of gammon we could send ☺️

Ah so, We can talk the pork but we can't fork the pork.

Pak Choi?

Eat a salad. And a breath mint, christ oh mighty...

Damn, guess we'll have to hand this one to Liz.

why not stop eating meat ?
