Muslim 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.

For example outbreaks of diseases among pigs can cause inflation to skyrocket and collapses in prices can bring similar problems.
