China apos;s Sweeping COVID Controls Put Frozen Food Importers On Ice

By Cate Cadell BEIJING, Nov 13 (Reuters) - The WHO says the risk of catching COVID-19 from frozen food is low, but China has repeatedly sounded alarms after detecting the virus on packaging of products ranging from German pork knuckles to Ecuadorian shrimp, triggering disruptive import bans. China, which has used drastic measures to control the spread of the novel coronavirus, this week tightened restrictions requiring "full coverage" testing and disinfection of imported food products, following a smattering of positive samples detected on beef, pork and seafood. The country has suspended imports of 99 suppliers from 20 countries, the National Health Commission said on Thursday. Beijing argues that such measures are needed prevent the import of the virus, which has been largely contained domestically. A seafood market in the central city of Wuhan is widely believed to be the origin of the pandemic that emerged late last year and has now killed more than 1.25 million people. The clampdown has caused upheaval in parts of China's cold chain logistics network and sparked grumbling among diplomats in Beijing that the effort is politically driven, with critics saying the measures are costly and unnecessary. Last week, cold chain facilities in the northern port city of Tianjin were shuttered when a 38-year-old frozen food worker who tested positive for the virus was linked to a 28.1 tonne shipment of frozen German pork knuckles. "We can't import any seafood as our warehouses have not finished rectification work yet," said an importer in Henan province who manages logistics for imported seafood and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] fruit. "It started in October and it has been over a month now and I don't expect it would be finished by the end of the year," said the importer, asking not to be identified. While scientists say that chances of infection from frozen food are low, Chinese authorities say two dock workers in Qingdao caught the virus last month from the packaging of [http://wordpress.org/search/frozen%20cod frozen cod] - an assertion that some experts have questioned. 'COMPLETE ELIMINATION' Outside China, frozen foods are rarely implicated in virus tracing efforts. In August, a New Zealand cold storage worker tested positive, but frozen food was later ruled out as the source by health authorities. Scientists have pointed out that the tests on cold-chain foods and packaging also detect dead fragments of the virus, meaning that positive results do not indicate the disease is viable and can infect humans. "People should not fear food, food packaging or delivery of food," Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's emergencies programme said in August. "There is no evidence the food chain is participating in transmission of this virus." That advice hasn't deterred authorities in China, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] where there is a surplus of testing equipment and food processing hubs and markets have been a recurrent vector for reported outbreaks. China's tightened cold chain guidelines call for "complete elimination" and "strict refusal of entry" of any products suspected of contact with the virus. The rules require routine disinfection, including of inner and outer packaging, and blanket testing of imported goods. Already, exporters whose products tested positive faced a week-long ban, extended to a month for three-time offenders. "If it's contaminated they return the whole of the food packaging. That's their right, but I don't think that's very necessary. A decontamination process is already sufficient", said Jin Dong-Yan, a virology professor at the University of Hong Kong. Import hubs including Beijing and Guangzhou have urged companies to halt imports from countries that are severely affected by the outbreak. A diplomat in Beijing who did not want to be identified given the sensitivity of the matter said they believed China's campaign is political. "In China authorities have managed to bring it under control but foreign health authorities haven´t, and it shows the problems in governance abroad," the diplomat said. Positive tests from seafood and meat products have sparked public fear about imported food. In June, imported salmon disappeared from store shelves and restaurants for months following media reports that the virus was detected on chopping blocks in a Beijing wholesale market. "The pandemic is raging overseas, so it's better for authorities to be strict with these rules," said the Henan importer.

Yokohama Blow Big Guns Jeonbuk Out Of Asian Champions League

Yokohama players celebrate beating Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Yokohama Marinos cruised into the knockout phase of the Asian Champions League for the first time in their history on Tuesday, hammering two-time champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors 4-1 in their Group H clash. Yokohama's Thai defender Theerathon Bunmathan thundered in a shot from the edge of the box in the 17th minute to set the tone, before three goals in the second half sent the 2006 and 2016 winners Jeonbuk crashing out of the tournament. "It's a great performance and a credit to the players, because it's the first time the club has got out of the group stage," said Yokohama coach Ange Postecouglou. "We started really well and put pressure on them, scored a goal -- a good goal from Bunmathan. "We missed some chances in the first half which always keeps the opposition in the game, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] but in the second half we were a bit smarter, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] worked our counterattacks really well and scored three good goals. "It´s a fantastic achievement and we are proud of everyone involved." - Jeonbuk wilt - Besides being the first team from eastern Asia to win the Champions League when it was launched in its current format in 2003, Jeonbuk are also eight-time K League winners, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a South Korean record, which includes four consecutive titles starting in 2017. But at the Al Janoub Stadium on Tuesday, their only bright moment came in the 54th minute when Gustavo fired home from the penalty spot three minutes after Marcos Junior had put Yokohama 2-0 ahead. Teruhito Nagakawa's 71st minute strike and an own goal by Song -- whose attempted headed clearance found his own net seven minutes from close -- confirmed Jeonbuk's exit. "The team gave what it was possible to do with the contingent that we have," lamented Jeonbuk coach Jose Morais. "In the first half, strategically, we went in terms of containing the offensive game of Yokohama, which is a big game and a quality game." "In the second half, the result as it was wasn´t enough to take us forward, so we took more risks." In Group G, Chinese giants Guangzhou Evergrande and South Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings played out a 1-1 draw at the Khalifa International Stadium. Lim Sang-hyub put Suwon ahead in the 53rd minute but Wei Shihao restored parity in the 72nd for Guangzhou with the help of an assist from Ai Kesen. The result means the second qualifying spot from the group will be decided on Friday with the Bluewings needing at least a 2-0 victory to join Vissel Kobe of Japan in the round of 16. Guangzhou coach Fabio Cannavaro was once again at a loss to explain his team's showing. "I am not happy because the performance of my team in the first half was not so good," said the former Italy international. "We didn't control the game and we didn't even try to play football. Even in defence we did not play well. I don't want to find excuses." Suwon's Park Kun-ha [http://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=lamented lamented] the fact that his team didn't make the most of the chances they got. "We got the first goal and then unfortunately conceded the equaliser. We had many chances at the end but we could not win."
