Spokesman: China buying US soybeans, pork
« on: September 26, 2019, 10:47:28 am »
Houston Chronicle 9/25/2019

Chinese importers have set deals to buy American soybeans and pork, the Ministry of Commerce said Thursday, as the two governments make conciliatory gestures ahead of trade talks.

The announcement follows Beijing's decision to lift punitive tariffs on soybeans, China's biggest import from the United States.

Chinese buyers have "completed deals to buy soybeans and pork of considerable scale," said a ministry spokesman, Gao Feng. He gave no details.

Negotiators are due to meet next month in Washington for a 13th round of talks aimed at ending the dispute over trade and technology that threatens to tip the global economy into recession.

The Chinese have a big problem feeding their own people, especially with the devastation of the swine flu epidemic they have had.
