China doesn’t need our pork

Several major livestock commodity groups are pushing to allow Chinese chicken imports to the U.S.  Those groups are dominated by multinational meatpackers and/or a blind free trade religion impervious to the facts about bilateral trade flows. 

For example the National Pork Producers Assn. thinks it will export pork to China if we let unsafe poultry to be imported.  But according to the Wall Street Journal, this may be a pipe dream.

In exchange, the U.S.
agreed to ease a six-year-old restriction on Chinese poultry exports to the
U.S. The lifting of the pork ban could result in, at best, a modest rise in
sales, said industry participants. China has increased domestic production and
likely won’t need to import U.S. pork.
