Smithfield is Chinese owned, so while he owes hundreds of millions to
a state run Chinese bank, he will maybe do a bit of public tweaking,
probably through prior agreement, he will let the company get away
with murder.

Oh, and notice that he chased out Chinese journalists and they chased
out ours. What a nice way to keep journalists from either place from
investigating the crooked craziness and dangerous business and health
practices..
