is Chinese pork imported to the US? Is that why it is so inexpensive in the stores?

Pork is the source of the flu virus worldwide isn’t it?

No, Chinese pork isn't routinely being imported into the US.
There is a pork virus in China which has decimated China's pork meat production.
The current price of pork is based on world-wide demand, not just the US.
In 2013, Smithfield Foods, America's largest pork producer was bought by China's Shuanghui International
for $7.1 billion dollars on May 29, 2013.
The sale was made to meet China's and the global demand; Smithfield exports pork, not import into the US.
