Virginia based, yet China owned, Smithfield Foods is about to get a huge boost in demand from its biggest buyer, China!
Smithfield Foods was taken over by Shuanghui Group (aka WH Group) in 2013. Smithfield has many slaughterhouses across the U.S. and sells pig products under many brands; Cook’s, Eckrich, Gwaltney, John Morrell, Krakus, and Smithfield.
WH Group is now boasting it is “The Largest Pork Company In The World.” In August it made a $25-million USD investment in U.S. online food seller Chef’d to sell Smithfield products. On 24 OCT 2017, WH Group announced a deal to provide China’s online food seller JD.com (aka JDFresh) with Smithfield pork.
JD.com is boasting that from 2016 to 2017 its online sales of pig meat exploded by more than 780%! And that’s pork sales just in China! That’s sounds good for Chinese consumers who love to shop online, but what does it imply for consumers in the U.S.?
The ‘law’ of supply and demand would say that if pork supplies in the U.S. declined due to increased demand from overseas buyers, then naturally the price for U.S. consumers will go up. U.S. price increases could be halted if another cheap source of pork could be found, probably in another country since the biggest pork producer in the U.S. is owned by China.

“Given that the amount of virus needed to initiate infection of exposed ferrets via respiratory droplets is small, these findings suggest that the HPAI H7N9 virus requires only a limited amount of virus to cause lethal infection….”-Yoshihiro Kawaoka, University of Tokyo and University of Wisconsin-Madison
Scientists in China, Japan and United States are warning about a new version of H7N9 ‘bird’ flu. It’s deadly, potentially spread by humans, and doesn’t affect birds!
Studies show the new H7N9 has about a 90% kill rate in laboratory animals. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin called it “extremely unusual”. Researchers at University of Minnesota added “The work is very concerning in terms of the implications for what H7N9 might do in the days ahead in terms of human infection.” Timothy Uyeki, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said the potential death rate from the new H7N9 is already “alarmingly high”.
China has been dealing with H7N9 outbreaks in humans since 2013. So far this year, China has reported dozens of people dying every month from H7N9! The current vaccine is based on the 2013 version of H7N9. There is no viable vaccine for the new deadlier H7N9, in desperation China’s government recently ordered testing of four new H7N9 vaccines.

About 250 air-militia personnel and 12 F-16 Fighting Falcons with the 120th Fighter Squadron, Colorado Air National Guard deploying to Kadena Air Base, Japan, in support of the U.S. Pacific Command (PacCom) Theater Security Package (TSP).
Don’t blame Trump or Obama, TSPs have been an integral part of U.S. PacCom since March 2004. Colorado’s F-16 air-militia will be based in Japan for about four months.

“I agree. They can have joint exercise here in Mindanao, maybe in the Sulu Sea.”-Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Philippines, commenting on the idea of forming military alliance with China
Not even a day after Donald Trump invited the President of the Philippines (who repeatedly brags about the thousands of extra-judicial executions of people ‘accused’ of drugs crimes) that president just accepted an invite from communist China to form a naval alliance, for training purposes.
On 30 APR 2017 the Chinese navy began a three day friendship tour in Davao City, Philippines. Is this the real reason U.S. President Trump invited admitted mass-killer Durerte to The White House?
Durerte also expressed a willingness to be part of China’s One Belt One Road global economic program, to get “more help to develop my country.”
“We hope to get an initial understanding about the space micro-gravity effects on stem cell proliferation and differentiation.”-Duan Enkui, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Inside the cargo compartment of space-freighter Tianzhou-1
Aboard China’s new and just launched Tianzhou-1 space-freighter an experiment like no other is taking place; making space babies!
Among other experiments Chinese scientists are using human stem cells to test the viability of Earthlings being able to have sex, I mean conceive children in a weightless environment.
To make it even more interesting, the scientist conducting the experiment are still on Earth. They’ll be using remote sensing technology to ‘get-it-on’ in space.
On top of that, they hope to discover the ability to help Earthlings regrow new organs and limbs: “Maybe scientists will be able to induce stem cells to grow into certain tissues or organs in space in the future to serve people on earth. In another scenario, if a human is injured and loses organs in future space migration, the lost organs might be regenerated……We expect to continue our research into embryonic stem cells on China’s future space station. We aim to try to culture functional tissues, such as heart, kidney, liver and spleen tissues.”-Lei Xiaohua, Chinese Academy of Sciences

“China ranks the 7th in terms of project numbers in Africa, but it created the most jobs, which is unexpected by many people.”-Jeremy Stevens, Standard Bank Group
During the last two years of the Obama regime China has become the number one creator of jobs on the African continent, despite billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars spent by the evil USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and USAfriCom (United States Africa Command).
At an economic meeting last week (in Kenya) it was revealed that in the past two years China has created nearly 30-thousand jobs in Africa! Last year the U.S. based World Bank admitted that despite propaganda from the Obama regime, 93% of Chinese companies in Kenya are hiring Africans. (interesting that China is doing so well in Barack Obama’s paternal homeland of Kenya)
Why is China so successful and the U.S. not? Simple, China is spending its taxpayer’s money on creating jobs while the U.S. spends money on so called disaster relief and supposedly fighting ‘terrorism’. At this past Friday’s economic meeting in Kenya African leaders stated that job creation is all they’re looking for from foreign investments. In other words they want butter, not guns.
