BEIJING/TAIPEI—A dead pig was found on a Taiwanese beach prompting Taipei to claim Beijing was not sharing accurate information on African swine fever. Days after the incident, Beijing warned the country’s pork industry that covering up cases of the disease is a crime.
China’s animal husbandry and veterinary affairs bureau is stepping up investigation and punishment of illegal activity in the pig industry, said a statement published on the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs website on Jan. 4.
