I read an article that people are purposefully spreading ASF in China to increase the price of pork. Is there any truth to this?

there have been credible reports in China of Chinese farmers using drones to spread ASF for various reasons, so yes

Holy hell. I'd love to understand why.. could you dig up where you read that?

I wonder if it was affected farmers keeping their competitors from getting a leg up, or some flavor of domestic terrorism.

These should cover it. Most dystopian story I've read in years!
