A ban on imports of "American bone-in beef and boneless beef for cattle under 30 months" has been lifted immediately, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said, according to a document posted on its official website.

China is already the world's largest consumer of pork, and demand for beef is surging as its burgeoning middle class adds more meat to its diet.
