China buying lots of soybeans and pork....

The world’s largest pork consumer bought 10,211 tonnes of U.S. pork between Aug. 2-8 for shipment in 2019 as a highly contagious swine disease continued to ravage the Chinese hog herd.
quote:
Some firms already bought at least 20 cargoes, or about 1.2 million tons, from the U.S. Pacific Northwest on Monday, the people said.
Lets be serious, did anyone think anyone else in the world could suddenly produce tens of millions of pigs to replace the ebola epidemic in china. Or suddenly grow millions of tons of soybeans?
We relax tariffs on dog collars and some computer components (to piss off IB), they buy food.
While their "Wall Street" is clamouring for another tranche of cheap debt, their central bank is balking at another turn at the govt teat, me thinks the well, or teat, is about dry and they know it.

yup. We are #1 at food and its not even close. They cant get it elsewhere.
Also, Thomas Cook went tits up. Why? They couldnt get more money from their Chinese owners. Whats a big problem in China right now that no one is talking about? Liquidity.
Need to do some more digging here but I find it curious they couldnt get that deal to work out.

The Chinese saw the stupidity of punishing their people with tariffs on pork and soybeans.
Maybe they will buy as much as they were before Trump started this fight.
Maybe our government will quit punishing us soon.

Doesnt China own the biggest pig farm in our country?
If I had my way a would also look into foreigners owning our land/companies without question, and not letting us do the same in their country. Total bs

You really need to do some research.

They own the Smithfield group. Smithfield is the largest in the USA by far

The foreign investments in the United States definitely needs to be reevaluated. It should be way way way more difficult and they should have to pay higher taxes, because next thing they will be doing is sending their kids to America to live in these places and work at these shell companies and then they will reproduce slowly taking over our homeland.

They couldnt get more money from their Chinese owners.
