| description | This paper discusses the determinants of meat imports of China. Results indicate that import demand is mostly determined by import price and real GDP.

As GDP and consumption capacity increases, China has a large potential demand for meat imports. Some countries may gain if China's economy continues expanding, while others, like the United States, are the most sensitive to the trade policy of China. |
