    The headline is a bit misleading or at least ambiguous. But these are US pork imports to China, I assume.

    EDIT: From the article, "China, behind Mexico and Japan, was the U.S.’s third-biggest market for pork in 2024, importing some 475,000 metric tons valued at more than $1.1 billion. "

    These are US exports to China.

      There is a lot of American pork (and some beef) in supermarkets here in Japan. I get mine from Costco which, at least for loins, is Canadian pork. Beef, of the non-wagyuu variety, tends to be Australian or American. Chicken is typically domestic in my experience.

        Why on Earth would China export pork to us? They eat way more than we do.

        EDIT: No, I’m definitely right
