Brilliant. We had a Chinese delegation in here last week. The dairy sector in their country has exploded. I asked if the beef sector was going in the same direction. They did not give me a yes-no answer, but I knew the answer was "Yes" because they spoke about food security. To us, it does not matter because we do not export that much beef to them. However, they import a lot of beef from Mercosur countries. If the Chinese become self-sufficient and no longer need as much beef, will that Mercosur beef need to go somewhere else? Will it flood into Europe? Can we trust that the beef that will come in will be capped for evermore? I do not think we can.
