Well, they are now going to have a hard time proving they are Halal certified.
- theodric 3y agoThat's okay, there are no Muslim people in China! (Or at least that's the goal.)
- selimthegrim 3y agoWhat are they going to rebrand qingzhen as then
- karmasimida 3y agoMuslim in China is mainly in Xinjiang and Xi'an province. It is not difficult to find Halah food in China, just that Halah certified isn't a thing that most people/merchants care about.

- sealeck 3y ago> Non-muslim Chinese love pork, it is by far the most commonly eaten meat in the country. In fact so much so that the meat has an outsized role in Chinese inflation. For example outbreaks of diseases among pigs can cause inflation to skyrocket and collapses in prices can bring similar problems.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoChinese government has a pork reserve like the American government has an oil reserve.
- sealeck 3y agoI did not know that, that's really interesting!
