BEIJING/SHANGHAI - Haitong International Securities has cut ties with UBS after a comment about Chinese pigs by a top economist at the Swiss bank was perceived by some as a racist slur.

African swine fever, a disease deadly to pigs, is ravaging herds across Asia. China has reported more than 120 outbreaks since it was first detected in the country in August.
