Our corrupted central socialist government is complicit in this through the FDA.
I would think that sending pork to China to be slaughtered and processed to be sent back to the US is economically stupid, but maybe they work like our government.
That said, I buy a locally butchered beef/hog every year and also shoot everything I eat.
Hard to believe that it’s more economical to ship millions of animals to China, process them, and ship the end products back than it is to simply do it all locally.
True, Smithfield Farms was sold to China, but the hogs are not being shipped back to China. See:

My Republicrat congresscritter actually puts forth his cosponsorship of a bill rescinding country of origin labling... like it’s a good thing for Americans to not know where their food comes from.
BS email that takes a grain of truth (compay sale) and the gullible forward the nonsense on as fact.
Picking up a half hog tomorrow from a local gmo free farmer. And getting salmon from a indian gill netter here in
Michigan.
It seems kind of counter-productive for the Chinese to let the slaughter facilities that they bought and paid for to sit idle, while at the same time incur extra added costs to ship the product from here to China to slaughter and then return the packaged product here.
I cannot believe that anyone falls for such a hoax!

They don’t make any money from me-I don’t eat food that is processed or animals that are not free ranged and not fed hormones, etc-so I grow most of my veggies and buy the others from a grocery that sells produce from this state-I buy meat from a local butcher shop, and hunt when I get the opportunity.
I grow my own garlic.
LOTS of it. It’s very easy to manage and after I harvest it, I put in my fall crop of lettuce and turnips.
In NYS with our wonderful (/S) growing season.
I also grow what I can and can what I grow. I KNOW what’s in my tomato sauce.
I have my own herb garden for spices and buy local honey and milk products.
The incoming Moslems are not going to let us eat pork.
I stay away from pork anyway even, unfortunately, bacon. Too much fat and sodium.
LOL! Post of the Day.
Did you STOP to think how much feed they would eat on the way to China?
What are they going to do, send along a Tender Ship with Corn, soybean meal, etc?
ROTFL
Sending planes full of screaming hogs to China doesn’t make sense.
