The South China Morning Post reports that China and the United States have agreed on an arrangement for trade between the two countries to be liberalised.
US credit rating services, electronic payment services and bond underwriting business are now all allowed in Chinese market.
[...] Under this agreement, China will accept beef from the US into the Chinese market, effectively ending the 14-year ban on American beef after an outbreak of mad-cow disease in [the] US in 2003.
Reciprocally, [the] US will allow Chinese cooked chicken to [be sold] in the American market.
The deal also provides for Chinese banks to operate in the United States, and for liquefied natural gas from the United States to be sold in China.

No one thinks you should necessarily be eating bugs. However, raising meat has some negative externalities with respect to the environment, so some think it should be taxed more. If it's taxed to the point that you don't want to pay for it, well, you can also get your protein from rice and beans, and you can also eat bugs. The only point is that meat isn't a necessity, and bugs are one reason why.
