China announces lifting of pork import ban

BEIJING -- China on Tuesday announced it had lifted a ban on pork imports from countries including the United States, following through on a pledge made at high-level Sino-U.S. trade talks in October. “Based on the results of a risk assessment, the restrictive measures imposed on relevant pork products ... are now lifted,” China's top product-quality watchdog said in a statement on its Web site.

Pork imports from the United States, Mexico and Canada were banned earlier this year due to fears that pork from regions affected by swine flu could carry the A(H1N1) virus.
