[{"type":"text","content":"CHONGQING, China, Feb. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- China Xiangtai Food Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: PLIN) (the \"Company\" or the \"PLIN\"), an emerging growth company primarily engaged in pork processing in China, today announced that the Company has donated 1,500 cartons of canned luncheon meat it produced, or 42,000 cans, to Huanggang Central Hospital and Wuhan No. 9 Hospital in central China's Hubei Province on February 8, 2020 and February 9, 2020 respectively. \n\nWith the second highest number of confirmed and suspected diagnoses in China, Huanggang city in Hubei Province has been hit hard by the outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus [1].
