China has agreed to re-open US exports of beef for the first time since 2003. How do you think this will affect cattle prices, if any?

Many are not old enough to remember but President Nixon is recognized for one positive (although not many others) opening the door to one of the world's great cultures - China.

Let me stir the pot, he also ended the Democrat war in Vietnam.

Given their adulterated food supply and complete lack of oversight of it, I sure hope that it will be clear to US consumers at the point of purchase that it's Chinese chicken (reminds me of a Barenaked Ladies song: anyone else?). But my understanding is that often it's baked (ha) into these trade deals that labels simply making people aware of the country of origin are often not allowed. I think that's wrong. Very wrong. When we're importing food from a country with zero consumer protection (h#ll, they don't care if they poison their own citizens), there's no way Americans don't have a right to know what they're eating. And if our beef export agreement allows that as a quid pro quo, then shame on us.

I can bear the shame.

Scandals in the food industry regularly jolt Chinese society into new waves of skepticism with Chinese authorities and their abilities to properly regulate food safety. From melamine-contaminated baby formula that killed at least six infants and sickened 300,000 more, to tilapia fish drenched in chemicals and antibiotics, the Chinese people have been victimized by numerous food scares involving inferior, and even toxic foods and products.
China's meat industry is similarly plagued by abuses and violations as meat producers and processors circumvent the law to get a larger or faster profit.

Given China's food handling and food safety practices including the practice of recycling food, I would not buy any food product labeled "imported from China".
