Pakistan’s Infamous Trade Relations With China
In the previous years, Pakistan garnered unwanted attention for having rather unusual deals with China which not only included exporting millions of donkeys to its brotherly neighbour but, over 100,000 kilograms of human hair.
In Pakistan, due to the heightened demand for the hide in China over the last few years, hundreds of thousands of donkeys were illegally and brutally slaughtered across the country. While the hide was smuggled to China, donkey meat was sold in the market.
