Chinese
criminals have been flying drones onto farms and infecting perfectly
healthy pigs with African swine fever, lowballing the farmer for their
sick pigs, and then selling the tainted meat as healthy, according to SCMP, citing China Comment - a magazine affiliated with state news agency Xinhua.
中国の悪党は養豚場上空にドローンを飛来させまったく健康な豚をアフリカ豚コレラに感染させる、農家は感染豚を投げ売りする、そして悪党たちはそれを買い受け健全な豚肉と偽って販売する、とSCMPは伝える、国家報道機関新華社通信子会社の雑誌 China Commentに掲載された記事だ。
In some cases, the gangs have spread rumors about the virus which is
not deadly to humans - but causes hemorrhagic fever in pigs which is
almost always fatal.
場合によっては、悪党たちは噂も広げる、人には無害だが豚が感染すると致命的だと。
Sometimes
they spread rumours about the disease spreading in the locality and may
even leave dead pigs on the side of a road to make farmers believe the
infection is spreading. -SCMP
In more extreme cases, however, the gangs use drones to drop infected items into the farms.
もっと極端な場合には、悪党たちは養豚場上空にドローンを飛来させ感染物を落下させる。
"One of our branches once spotted drones air dropping unknown objects into our piggery, and later inspection found [the] virus in those things," said one farm manager.
Once the sick pigs have been acquired by the gang, they are then
smuggled to other areas with sky-high pork prices, violating a ban on
transporting pork or livestock between provinces, and sold for a profit
as high as $143 per pig.
In Yunnan, a southwestern province, authorities have intercepted the
transport of more than 10,000 live pigs - some of which were infected
with the virus. According to the report, one gang smuggled 4,000 pigs
from a province in one day.
It
said that smugglers had been bribing inspectors and faking quarantine
certificates to smuggle the animals across provincial borders.
報告書によると、密輸業者は賄賂を使ったり偽の豚検査証を利用する、こうして省間の移動を行うのだ。
In
one such case in Lichuan, a city in the central province of Hubei, the
disease spread through the area after a vet forged certificates for
infected animals.
湖北省Lichun市では、 偽検査証で病気が蔓延した。
The
smugglers are trying to profit from a spike in prices that has seen the
cost of meat rise from about 20 yuan per kilogram to a high of 52.30
yuan last month. -SCMP
In October, China's Ministry of Agriculture reported that the country's pig herd had collapsed 41.1% YoY. According to Rabobank, that figure could rise to 50% - 55% by the end of the year.
Is The Stock Market As Confused As You Are About A Recession? Written by Lance Roberts | Apr, 1, 2019 Last week, Barron’s ran an article entitled “The Stock Market Is Just As Confused About A Potential Recession As You Are?” To wit: 先週バロンズにこういう記事が掲載された「株式市場は景気後退を予感させるほどに混乱しているだろうか？」見てみよう： “Investors have long used where we are in the economic cycle to decide which stocks to buy and sell. New research from Nomura’s Joseph Mezrich flips that on its head by showing how investors can use stock performance to help determine where we are in the cycle. Too bad the market is sending mixed messages right now.” 長らく投資家は現在景気サイクルのどこに居るかを見てこの株式を売るか買うかを判断してきた。野村證券のJoseph Mezrichの最近の研究では、これが逆さで、投資家は株式のパフォーマンスを見て今景気サイクルのどこにいるかを判断している。最悪なことに現在相場は悪化改善混在のメッセージを送っている。」 But let’s be clear here; no one wants the party to end. So, despite a struggling stock market over the last year, slowing economic growth, and a collapsing yield curve, there are s...
How Are Gold And Money Supply Related? by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2020 - 13:00 Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk, M2 Money Supply is surging. Will gold follow? M2マネーサプライが急増している。ゴールドはこれを追従するだろうか？ Let's investigate an alleged relationship between gold and M2, a measure of money supply in the US. よく言われるM2（米国のマネーサプライ指標）とゴールドの関係について調べてみよう。 "There’s a clear correlation between the annual growth rate in M2 money supply and the price of the yellow metal. " 「M2の年率増加速度とゴールド価格の間には明らかな相関がある。」 Clear Correlation? 明らかな相関？ The Tweet claims something different than my lead chart depicts. So let's investigate the above idea in other time frames. このツイートの主張は私が示す最初のチャートが示すものとは異なる。というわけでこのtweetの主張を別の時間フレームで見てみよう。 Gold vs Rate of Change in M2 Money Supply ゴールド vs M2マネーサプライの変化率 If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face....
China Injects Gargantuan 1.1 Trillion In Liquidity This Week by Tyler Durden Wed, 01/16/2019 - 22:19 Following what Bloomberg calculated was a record net reverse repo liquidity injection on Wednesday, when the PBOC injected a whopping 560 billion yuan of liquidity into the financial system via open market operations, the Chinese central bank has done it again and in Thursday's open market operation, it sold 250BN yuan in 7 Day repos (slightly below yesterday's record 350BN), and 150BN in 28 Day repos, which net of maturities resulted in a whopping net 380BN yuan ($56.2BN) liquidity injection. ブルームバーグの算出によると水曜に記録的なリバースレポ流動性注入が行われた、PBOCがなんと公開市場操作で金融システムになんと５６０B人民元を注入した、中国中央銀行は再び木曜に公開市場操作を行った、２５０B人民元の７日決済レポを売却した（昨日の３５０B人民元よりも少し少ない）、そして２８日決済のレポを１５０B人民元注入した、結果としてなんと３８０B人民元（＄５６．２B)の流動性注入となる。 (訳注：なんか足し算すると辻褄が合いません、ブルーム...
