All Abrahamic religions, including Christianity, banned pork until the Christians changed the rules....and I think Hinduism prohibited pork too, if I'm not wrong.
Also, half of the Chinese pork population (tens of millions) dropped dead from the new swine virus in 2019.......so they're a very bad investment.

If an insurgency happens there (possible in the future), that whole country would be in ruins in a year.
