According to Guancha.com, the EU has taken advantage of the different demand conditions in the Chinese and European pork markets to implement dumping in the Chinese market. China has launched an anti-dumping investigation against EU pork manufacturers. As the largest source of pork imports to China, the cold reception of EU pork provides opportunities for Russia, Brazil and other countries to expand exports to China. The Russian pork industry has formulated a series of plans to expand exports to China, showing a partial substitution trend for the EU market. China is the world's largest pork consumption and import market, contributing about half of the world's pork import demand. For parts such as pig offal, there are obvious differences in demand between the China-Europe and China-Russia markets, which allows European manufacturers to purchase them at low prices in their own country and make considerable profits from exports to China.

On June 17, China's Ministry of Commerce announced an anti-dumping investigation decision on EU pork. This decision caused panic among EU manufacturers, who called for dialogue and communication to seek China's understanding. There is also public opinion that China's anti-dumping investigation measures on EU pork are a countermeasure to the EU's imposition of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Among the top five pork exporters to China, three are from the EU. The five countries are Spain, the United States, Brazil, France, and Denmark. Russia is also a major pork producer and exporter. In 2008, due to the African swine fever epidemic, Russian pork was restricted from import by Chinese customs. The restriction was lifted in September last year, and the General Administration of Customs of China subsequently sent personnel to Russia to learn about the production of Russian pork. In April this year, the first batch of Russian pork exports to China arrived in Hong Kong after the restrictions were lifted.
