Abstract
Broadcast Transcript: American chicken feet are no longer welcome on Chinese soil. A possible congressional ban on the import of Chinese chicken for safety reasons has made China madder than a wet hen. And, though officially China is saying that imports are NOT blocked, according to US exporters, Beijing has launched a preemptive poultry strike and halted imports of US chicken. The feet, which are called Golden Phoenix Claws at dim sum establishments are popular in stews and snacks and, we’re told, make a lovely clear soup, too. You know, the Chinese market for US chicken feet ain’t chicken feed. In 2008, China bought more than 400,000 tons of Golden Phoenix Claws at a cost of 280 million dollars. That’s a lot of “buck buck bucks.” #ceas #china #hacker
