[Photo/IC] HONG KONG -- An African swine fever (ASF) case was confirmed at a slaughterhouse in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and about 6,000 pigs would be culled, a health official of the SAR government said late Friday. Sophia Chan, secretary for food and health of the HKSAR government, said it was confirmed Friday afternoon that ASF virus was found in a pig in the Sheung Shui slaughterhouse in the New Territories. An inter-departmental meeting was held to discuss the response action and follow up work. Chan said, in order to minimize the risk of ASF virus spreading from the slaughterhouse, all pigs in Sheung Shui slaughterhouse would be culled so that thorough cleansing and disinfection could be conducted. The operation of the Sheung Shui slaughterhouse will be suspended until the completion of the disinfection work, Chan said, adding that the SAR government would enhance the surveillance and testing of pigs. silicone wristbands made in americaforza horizon how many wristbandsfigured wristband1 4 inch silicone braceletsfibromyalgia bracelet silicone
AUCKLAND - The New Zealand China Council on Tuesday released a report here on the opportunities New Zealand could face under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.The report, intended to be a first step in helping to shape New Zealand's engagement with the initiative, shows that opportunities exist for New Zealand to engage and enhance existing linkages not only with China, but also with other countries along the Belt and Road routes."Choosing not to engage will not only be a missed opportunity but also mean these opportunities are available for other countries to explore and realize the benefits. Other countries will take up these opportunities if New Zealand does not engage, thereby eroding our preferential position in the Chinese market," the report says."New Zealand has a number of comparative advantages that give us the opportunity to offer a meaningful and mutually beneficial proposition to China," said Don McKinnon, chair of the government-funded New Zealand China Council, which was established in 2012.The report tries to take "a fresh, innovative and practical approach" to the prospects for cooperation under the initiative, with a focus in particular on opportunities to create greater connectivity between New Zealand, China and other Belt and Road participants, he said. embossed printed wristbandsbest place to buy silicone wristbandscustom wrist bandsbuy wristbands near mecheapest place to buy silicone wristbands<%2fcenter>
