I am more than aware of some of the measures they are going to in Beijing and other areas of mainland China in response to the rabies scare. Being a part of the Pet-Law list, also broadly international in scope and membership affords the opportunity to stay abreast of such matters. Dogs also remain a part of the food source in areas of Mainland China.
Just because there might be a strong position for corgis in the country does not mean that it is in the best interest of the breed(s) for them to grow in popularity there. In a country that practices infanticide against its daughters, does one really think that breeding concepts for dogs will grow beyond or perhaps even reach the standards of the Animal Welfare Act and USDA regulations in the US? Breeding will be governmentally controlled and that will prevent any in home raising and socialization of puppies - both vital components to healthy sound of mind and temperament puppies.
Space is already a premium in many Asian countries and there are owners already having problems and issues in raising corgis in such limited areas without available space for walks and exercise.
