China's Demand for Pakistani Donkeys Creates Export Boom

China is buying a lot of donkeys from Pakistan because they need their hides to make medicine called Ejiao.

This has created a big business, with dedicated farms and processing plants.

However, the demand has made donkeys very expensive, which is causing problems for poor people in Pakistan who rely on donkeys for their livelihoods.

Ejiao is a traditional Chinese medicine and is believed to have health benefits.

The Pakistani government sees this as an economic opportunity.
