Damn, China must be hella pissed to go, “and fuck yo’ pork too!”
Is this the fabled “metric fuckton?”
That guy I know from high school who adores McRib sandwiches will be stoked.
It’s okay America, you have a bacon loving neighbor to your nor… Oh you pissed them off too, huh
Well if it makes pork cheaper in the US, at least we’ll have one cheap affordable protein, cause chicken keep rising and beef is turning hamburger helper in to fancy food for special occasions.
Prediction: the price of meat will continue to rise and will never be this cheap again
This is a strategic move. China is very publicly telling pork farmers that they are being hurt because of Trump. It also makes it clear that Trump could end their hardship, but won’t.
Like anyone believing the lies of their abuser, they’ll just blame the Chinese for hurting them. Just do what the abuser wants, then everything will be ok. Don’t rock the boat.
But why would Biden do this to pork farmers?
Thanks Obama

Get ready for bacon as a meme again and 3-for-a-dollar ham sandwiches.
52 Boeings, 120.000 tons pork … note to self: don’t pick a fight with China
1 million Chinese is a small number.
12 million kg of pork. So that’s like one breakfast for China.
If you calculate about 200 gr for one meal, it would make one breakfast for 60 million people. Not even one tenth of the population.
TIL there are non-metric tons
Yep. Short ton, long ton, and metric tonnes
Don’t forget fucktons and shittons.
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
Feed the old commercial districts of bigtown USA.
THOSE SWINE!
Awesome. The torture/murder of animals is fundamentally evil and literally destroying the planet.
Pick a better time to fight the vegan fight, we’re watching some leopards eating some faces here. (It doesn’t need to be every part of your personality)
China has a strategic reserve of pork in a mountain somewhere that it will have to dip into while it finds new suppliers, so really think about those particular living conditions.
