| China to exempt U.S. pork, soybeans from additional tariffs: Xinhua |
| 2019-09-13 |
| h/t Instapundit [Rooters] China will exempt some agricultural products from additional tariffs on U.S. goods, China’s official Xinhua News Agency said Friday, in the latest sign of easing Sino-U.S. tensions before a new rounds of talks aimed at curbing a bruising trade war. Or an admission they can't find alternate sources and can't produce their own ...An outbreak of deadly African swine fever, which has cut China’s pig herd by a third since mid-2018, has propelled Chinese pork prices to record levels and left the country in need of replacement supplies from overseas. |

| #9 Export tariffs are completely unconstitutional. The Export Clause bans taxes or duties on articles exported from any state. So I suppose they could be imposed on items leaving from Puerto Rico or Guam, if we really wanted to, but that's hardly a big deal economically, and neither raise pigs for export, as far as I know. |

| #8 Not only doubled but rationed now at 10X smaller then the usual amount a pork a Chinese eats. So if they had it one meal a day they now have it 1 meal every 10 days. |

| #7 The price of pork in China has nearly doubled in 1 year and is accelerating. Blame Africa swine flu and boycott of US pork by CCP. |

| #3 Dunno if a blink or more along the lines of "There isn't another supply source". I think more of the latter. |

| #1 We should probably put an export tariff on that stuff equivalent to whatever import tariff they're putting on everything else. |
