China's Communist Party Blames Imported Food for Recent COVID-19 Surges

The news of "Positive nucleic acid tests on imported food packaging" have appeared on mainland Chinese media frequently this month.

State-approved "Experts" quoted by the media have given different opinions on the risk of contracting the virus from imported goods, causing confusion and panic among the people and huge losses for import businesses.

State-controlled media have also frequently reported that China has had "Cases imported from overseas."

Chinese experts have contradictory opinions as to whether people can be infected by any virus particles on imported products.

In an interview with CCTV on Dec. 29, Zhong also mentioned that the increase in local cases in China may be related to the environment and material transmission, and that imported goods need to be monitored.

After media reported that "The surface of imported cherries tested positive" for COVID-19, a sharp drop in the price of imported cherries was seen in many places across the country.

The CCP's practice of testing imported foods and other commodities has not only affected Chinese businesses but also disrupted global cold chain operations, with cargo ships waiting in long queues at major Chinese ports for testing.
