China’s African Swine Fever Situation Becoming Increasingly Challenging But CCP Trying to Downplay It

The prevention and control of African swine fever has become normal practise in mainland China but official reports on the African swine fever epidemic in China have been sporadic, seemingly with the intention of downplaying the seriousness of the problem.
On April 7, Henan Shuanghui Investment and Development Co., Ltd., a leading company in China’s meat industry, revealed on an investor interactive platform that the African swine fever epidemic will be an uncertain factor affecting the price trend of live pigs this year and needs close attention.
China had a large-scale outbreak of African swine fever from August 2018 to the end of 2019. It hit the pork industry hard and caused pork prices to soar. In January and February of this year, the price of pork in China had a short-lived decline. A report on Yicai.com suggested that this was related to the concentrated selling caused by the outbreak of African swine fever. The report said that African swine fever has never disappeared in China.
According to Jan Cortenbach, chief technical officer of feed producer Wellhope-De Heus Animal Nutrition, “at least 20 percent of the hog was affected, and maybe even 25 percent” in northern and northeastern provinces of China by the outbreak of African swine fever in the first quarter of this year.
This statement coincides with March data from Beijing-based CnAgri-China Agricultural Consulting Ltd. It showed that sow stocks in northern China fell by 25 to 30 percent last month compared to February.
According to China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, an outbreak of African swine fever was reported on April 5 in the Fourth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. An outbreak of African swine fever occurred on a pig farm in Yining City, Xinjiang, on March 24 in which 293 of the 466 live pigs in stock were infected and only 13 sick pigs survived. In addition, in March, multiple cases of African swine fever were reported in Sichuan, Hubei, Yunnan, and Guangdong, but the reports emphasized that they were all “illegal shipments” from other provinces.
On March 29, Founder Intermediate Futures clearly stated in its report that Henan Province, the second largest province in China in terms of hog breeding, has been affected by the African swine fever epidemic, with the mortality rate of breeding sows as high as 20-30 percent, and that the loss may be “irreversible.”
Also in March, a reporter for state mouthpiece Xinhua News Agency’s China Comment periodical found about 50 dead pigs along the bank of the Yellow River in the Dalad Banner in Inner Mongolia, suspected to be caused by African swine fever.
Although the CCP has been silent about which provinces the swine fever came from, it has stressed the need for regular prevention and control of African swine fever throughout the country, which is an indirect admission of the seriousness and uncertainty of the change of the swine fever epidemic in China.

The CCP Is Alone in Its Anti-American Alliance

Commentary
The senior leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wanted to win over a few so-called allies to form an anti-American alliance but found themselves standing alone in the anti-American front. On the surface, Russia, North Korea, and Iran appear to be helping the CCP against the United States, but they are actually pushing the CCP to the forefront, each taking the opportunity to seek benefits for themselves.
The Regime’s Embarrassing Isolation
On April 7, Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the regime’s mouthpiece Xinhua News reported.
To the CCP, Germany is the weakest link in the Western camps. Top CCP leaders always used Germany as their last resort during internationally desperate conditions.
Xi once again pinned his hopes on Germany when the CCP was in a direct stalemate with the United States and Europe. The call to Germany’s leader shows that the CCP has fallen into international isolation.
Xinhua’s report mainly covered what Xi said in the phone call: “he hopes that Germany will remain open and create more convenience for the enterprises of both countries to expand mutually beneficial cooperation.” “China stands ready to work with the EU… and jointly practice multilateralism,” and “promote fair and reasonable vaccine distribution.”
Of course, Xi hopes that Germany and Europe will not join forces with the United States to fight against the CCP. At the same time, he continues to draw a big piece of the pie for German companies and tout cooperation on vaccines.
As for Merkel’s reaction? Xinhua reported, “Merkel said that the EU upholds independence in its foreign relations.” Such a statement at least shows that Germany will not stand on the side of the CCP. In fact, Japan and Germany are about to hold 2+2 ministerial talks on foreign affairs and national defense. I wonder if Xi and Merkel discussed this specific issue.
Xinhua also stated that Merkel “hopes to maintain communication with China on issues such as fair distribution and mutual recognition of COVID-19 vaccines.”
This kind of call, without much consensus and no actual results, is merely symbolic. This call just revealed the awkward position of the CCP in the world.
CCP and Iran Take Advantage of Each Other
On March 27, Iran and the CCP signed a 25-year $400 billion strategic and economic partnership. It continues to fuel the CCP’s ongoing Belt and Road Initiative for hegemony.
The CCP certainly hopes to use Iran and the terrorist organizations it supports to drag the U.S. military further into the Middle East, but after the first round of indirect tentative military engagements between the new U.S. government and Iran in Syria in Februrary, Iran has not increased its military provocations against the United States. In fact, Iran began negotiating with the United States on April 7 in order to strive for greater benefits. Iran may be using the CCP’s recent large-scale challenge to the United States in the Pacific as a bargaining chip.
Lloyd Austin, the new U.S. Secretary of Defense, has rich practical experience in the Middle East and should also attach great importance to the situation in the Middle East. However, he did not propose a plan to increase troops in the Middle East. Instead, he is implementing a plan to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Naturally, Iran does not want the U.S. military to be stationed in its surrounding areas on a large scale. Iran should hope that the CCP will provoke the U.S. military more in the Pacific, which will reduce Iran’s pressure, and it may be beneficial to the U.S.-Iran negotiations. Iran ultimately hopes to reach an agreement instead of going to war with the U.S. military.
North Korea Is More Words Than Actions
After the tense China-U.S. meeting in Alaska, the CCP immediately interacted openly with North Korea. North Korea also conducted its short-range missile test. North Korea even issued statements of threat to the White House. But it has not made high-profile claims about nuclear tests, nor has it launched high-level long-range ballistic missiles.
