A few months ago China banned Canadian pork on the grounds of forged export certificates (without specifying which exporter). It was seen in Canada as more retaliation over the arrest of the Huawei exec.

- AFascistWorld 7y agoWell, the party has stated loud and clear that China will fight America (and the evil West) no matter what, at all costs and to the very end.
- blfr 7y agoSoviet communists also used to say this.

USDA pushed and supported cheap mass production and even transportation, making what we now expect in a big, well stocked market with low prices and wide selection. We set up modern demo markets in the Ukraine which probably hit home, literally, because the Soviet markets were bare and droll. This tech was even studied by the Soviets but they couldn't reproduce it. It seems hitting the stomachs was just as important as hitting the minds and the missiles. http://freakonomics.com/podcast/farms-race/ http://freakonomics.com/podcast/farms-race/
