That’s rich coming from China...

...one of the few U.S. industries that profitably exports to China.
That's it! When Mr. Dunham said we're going to "double exports" he actually meant we're going to send over twice as much chicken!
Why, that's brilliant! We should all run out and buy Tyson stock right now! /sarcasm

" The tariffs were announced a day after China requested a World Trade Organisation ruling on European Union duties on shoes made in China."
What were the Chinese exporting!-Flip Flops?

How can you dump chicken feet below cost? There is no cost for chicken feet other that packing and shipping. They are part of the chicken. You don’t have to grow feet.

In another startling move, China has announced it will no longer accept any chicken manure from the u.s. Manure is not considered a delicacy, but the population has just gotten used to government statements, and the cr@p imported from the u.s. was always cheaper due vast surpluses in the u.s., where it is very efficiently manufactured by white house policies.

The trade minister vowed, “we have become extremely tired of the u.s. dumping this cr@p on us and we will not take any more cr@p from the u.s.; that is why we have completely banned it instead of the just taxing the cr@p out of our markets.”

the white house was quick to point out that their policies have ensured that u.s. citizens will have a huge abundance of cr@p for their own enjoyment.

I just read how chicken wings hsd become in such demand here as bar food as to make them too expensive for bars to provide free or cheap and that they were moving to other chicken parts to ‘buffalo’.

How long before Obama’s war on Toyota leads to similar actions by the Japanese?

Funny thing,
If you ever go to the Bahamas and want to make a good impression with the locals, bring a bunch of fat Perdue roaster chickens.
Their chicken looks like starved crows.
Course they try to protect the local farms and you’ll probably get in more trouble smuggling chicken in to the country that if you smuggled guns.
Once traded two chickens for 10 lobsters.
Thought that was a fair deal.

Guess that means they go back to cat ranching...

Meeeowwwwww....klunk...General Tso’s coming light up!

I doubt the US can actually “dump” poultry on Communist China....the ChiComs are the worlds biggest agri producer....you would have to “pay” the ChiComs to take the chickens...

The Free Trade Liberal Globalist-Communists are probably going to have some “I Hate America” explanation, and, cheesy defense for their Commie Chinese friends.....but the only way to correct the US imbalance of trade with Communist China is to start slapping tariffs on their goods. It is the only way you can pay off the money owned to Communist China.

Better to be an Isolationist and Protectionist than Globalist and Communist

The Chicken Fix (Look out - here it comes!)
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 25, 2009 | Opinion Asia

Excerpt:
"And now some welcome news for a change: In a little-noticed move, the U.S. Congress tore down a barrier to imports of chicken from China last week."

This is in reply to Obamao hitting their product with extra taxes.

And we thought Let the Games Begin was about the winter olympics.

OK...here is the skinny on this 'Chicken Parts Trade War.' Yes, USA wings & feet are being sold in the PRC. And its a hot item.
Now here is the reason - Because it comes from the USA and people know, or believe it, to be safer and not loaded with chemicals like Chinese chicken parts.
Thus, they want the USA parts and the Chinese parts go unsold.
Chicken parts are big bidness. Its makes Ol Ah Huang mad to see the USA parts replacing his Chinese hormone/chemical/pesticide laced chicken bits in the market place.
So what does Ah Huang and Ah Chung do? They put the pressure on their local PRC Gov't contact by not giving him his red envelope (bribe) or giving him a lighter one than he has been getting. This gets the Gov't persons attention.
So, the PRC peon has to cut his contribution to his lao ban(boss) who then repeats the complaint up the ladder to his/her boss with a similar lighter envelope.
This is a time honored and completely accepted tradition known as a "Hong Bao."(pronounced just like it looks)

Now, you must also remember that right now we are in the run-up to the MAJOR Chinese holiday of the year - Chinese New Years. This is when the hong baos(Red Envelopes) fly thicker than pigeons in a park.

And this, my FReeper Friends, is why you are seeing/reading this story right now.

Tip your wait staff and remember - The more you drink the better we sound and the more we drink the better you look...;-)
