Three or four years ago, there was talk that the Wuhan virus was China’s revenge for African swine flu and avian.flu that swept through their pork and poultry, supposedly spread by CIA agents. Don’t know if we’ll be eating Chinese pork anytime soon.

I think a Hong Kong group owns Tyson (or a parent company) plus Farmland Foods, etc.

IOW, most of America’s meat processing is owned by foreign entities

This is sort of like a Babylonian Captivity of Israel - except economically

Good thing China doesn’t have like a Social Credit Score or Facial Recognition to buy food......

Maybe because pigs float and can be towed behind the container ships.

Note their euphemism for ‘employees’: team members. Touching, huh?

The opposite. US shipping pork to China, for a lot of reasons. Cheapest American production is in China’s interest.
