BEIJING—The Chinese regime is releasing more pork from stockpiles to help cool surging prices ahead of celebrations of the Communist Party’s 70th anniversary in power.
The regime said on Sept. 26 it will auction off 10,000 tons of pork, the country’s staple meat. It was the second release in two weeks following a similar announcement Sept. 18.
