I have no problem with this

So funny! Wonder what they feed them?

Since the dawn of time, Chinese people have had a special kind of affection towards pigs. This animal was the “head” of six domestic animals (六畜 ♦ liùchù), along with ox, goat, horse, fowl and dog.

When people in China celebrate New Year, they especially like a horizontal scroll (横批 ♦ héngpī) with the saying ‘five grains flourish, six animals thrive’ (五谷丰登,六畜兴旺 ♦ Wǔgǔ fēngdēng, liùchù xīngwàng).

Aren’t they having a little problem with some kind of swine disease?

To the level that they are importing pork (in spite of the tariff spat)?
