      abstract = {The Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures are  technical regulations, standards, and requirements closely  related to food safety, plant and animal health, and  environmental safety, aiming to prevent disease, pests,  pathogens and other alien risk from entering China. Pork is  favorite meat for Chinese consumers; its safety directly  concerns the safety of whole food supply chain with rapid  increasing of port import. This paper analyzed SPS  management system of swine and pork import, and evaluated  SPS efficiency of swine industry in China from SPS  notification number, swine health situation, and pork  import standard. The study found that as for SPS  notification number and chemical residue control standard,  China’s SPS protection level is relatively high, while the  control level of swine diseases is still low. In China, SPS  management system has the problem of involving multiple  authorities and poor coordination among them, leading to  some standards lacking scientific basis and low  enforcement.},
