Chicken Returns to the Table

2004/05/01

 

Normal sales of poultry returned to Beijing on April 11, after the city allowed the resumption of trade in live birds. During the outbreak of the disease known as "bird flu", the Chinese government used a series of measures to protect areas not affected by bird flu and to control the spread of the disease. Nearly nine million birds have been slaughtered since the first case in the country was confirmed in Dingdang Town, Long'an County in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on January 27.
