Chinese Authorities Suspected of Hiding Possible Spread of African Swine Fever
By Sunny Chao, Epoch Times
November 4, 2018 Updated: November 4, 2018


A recent video circulating online that shows empty stands at a town market in China?s south-central Hunan Province is being interpreted as an indication that African swine fever (ASF) may have spread there.

Chinese authorities, however, appear to be seeking to keep the public in the dark.

A video posted to Twitter on Oct. 28 claimed to show a large-scale agricultural trading market in Jishou County, Furong Township in Hunan Province. There, the stands were all full, except for those where pork is sold, according to the Twitter post.
