Really.
If China agrees to this it will prove to the world just how weak China is. A veritable paper tiger. Which is why I expect their leadership to push hard against it, but if they accept they will irrevocably prove they are truly weak. Forced to buy soy at double the quantities they needed a year before the trade war (not to mention before flu decimated Chinese pig population). It would be an absolute body blow to the image the Chinese have been trying to put out that they are a strong country if they accept this.
China is over a barrel right now on pigs. They’ve had more than 40% of all the pigs in the country die of pig ebola from the Congo. That’s about 20% of the world production of swine. American pigs are healthy and China desperately needs pork. And why did the UN rename it African Swine Fever? Is that an attempt to make is sound less scarey? It’s the Reston Ebola strain. It kills swine and monkeys, but humans are currently immune, until it crosses over to humans.
China will soon not be able to feed its people and we can charge anything we want for American pork.
That’s odd. It seem that Beijing would want to encourage U.S. farmers to continue producing enough for China instead of causing a decrease in U.S. production next year.
China either buys or starves.
Xi would rather deal with food riots conducted by millions of starving Chinese? Hey, a kinky ba$tard is he not?
This is all about positioning PDJT not to have success in relation to his re-election.
Let the Chinese rot.
Let them starve.
