American shoppers so far haven’t felt much price impact from China’s soaring meat purchases, but that could soon change

China is on a global meat-buying spree, pushing up beef, pork and poultry prices around the globe as the world’s most populous nation scrambles to fill a large void in its meat supply.

Meat buyers for China are ramping up purchases after a swine disease hit hog farms across the country and reduced its pig herd—the world’s largest—by more than a third. Domestic pork prices have surged and China’s meat imports are swelling in response, straining global supplies and sending ripples across the global economy.

They imposed 25% tariffs on themselves. It's their stupidity. We have more pork to ourselves.

Why help feed a growing unpredictable giant just because you want money

I say put limits on the amount of beef and meat and grain that China can buy..so that China can find a way to raise thier own meat

First, Trump's tariff was causing down turns in sales to China. Now, the Left is whining because China is buying too much meat?

That's fine. Non-preachy vegetarian here. ✌️🏻👍🏻😃

Is this the real reason behind veggie burgers? And how does this resolve your we gotta stop eating meat to save the planet? Seems that if we sacrifice everything and they sacrifice nothing the planet is still doomed.

🤢🤮

Americans eat too much meat anyway

They could start eating Pakistanis either!😆😆🤣🤣🤣

Cool now they too can be riddled with cancer, diabetes, and heart disease!

Guess Chinese people are getting tired of rice...lol

Me likey beef

limit China's purchasing quotas Feed America First

Put tariffs on pork😀

Really bad for the environment. If anything governments around the world should be reducing meat consumption. Increase taxes on all meat related products heavily and use the money for clean energy sources, reclamation and cleaning up the environment.

ヨーロッパは食肉税とか言ってるからその分が中国に買い取られるのかな。 しかし、手掴みで肉を買ってる?😅

... ceterum censeo sinarum esse delendam.

Wall Street journal's predictions... Stocks will crash. Nope. Gas prices sky rocket. Nope. Recession coming. Nope. SCOTUS rape. Nope. High prices for Chinese products. Nope. Changes to NAFTA, crash economy. Nope. Etc,etc,etc..... Believing the WSJ. Nope.

Nah, just a well timed MadCowDisease scare will solve that little issue right away.

Glad I don't meats or fish from China !

eating less meat is better than carbon tax ClimateChange

Was there only one photo in your database of Chinese people and meat?

US must up price. 💯

Chinese won’t resist ccp and chinazi when they feel the real “hungry” Please , whole world say no to Chinazi! Say No to Chinese product! Say No to ccp StandWithHongKong ,join 929GlobalAntiTotalitarian 🙅🏿‍♂️🇨🇳

Sophmoric headline writing, We now know where all those editors from defunct MAD MAGAZINE went for employment

No meat for you! You will get veggie burgers! Just like in USA!

haha, it is just a pig, ok?! but thanks for keep us in mind😎

This is precisely why the USDA wants to loosen food safety rules on pork processing that have stood for 50+ years.

Due to the great leadership of CCP.

The West has been wasting protein and the global steaks are high.

you have to use this nasty pic right?👎

When living in China, I found quality protein hard to come by. It is used very sparingly, and doesn't compare to that of the West. The tradewar and swine flu have made the situation even worse in the country. It's only a matter of time before they start faulting their govt.

Pork in china has risen to ¥30/500g(about $3.5 per pound).

Convenient

You are demanding we kill animals that’s all. Animal abuse forced onto laborers paid for by you eating you

stop eating animals....you animals

Chinese people should thank their wise government.

Better tell me what China would not crave? This country with its population wants everything at once.

That day is not far when everyone in whole world will suffer from food crisis if we not become aware now for our MotherEarth

when I was in Asia during the 80s there did not have much protein, they were notably weaker and smaller than we were. Now they are the worlds biggest consumer. Why? Because it is making them stronger!!! Meat in proportion is good for you!! It keeps you from being a weakling!!

Let them eat soy

Time for all the climate change activists to put their money where their mouth is and go vegan.

How would the Wall Street Journal writers know what and how American shoppers have been impacted by Donald Trump's uninformed and destructive tariffs & 'drive by' economic and political arsonist by tweeter Donald Trump and his fraudulent regime?

I saw the pick, I thought someone made another remake of Day of the Dead

I have tried twenty dollar hammburgers at hotels, but I still prefer the ones at McD's ... you get used to eating certain things. I once read (79 edition?) in the guinness book of world records that the oldest woman alive (110?) began her day with a pickle and a coke.

The food problems are wider than this. Take a look at crops this year in the US and other major crop growing areas. We have entered the Grand solar minimum, the planting season has been COLD and wet. This will effect this years crops.
