[NationalPulse via CFP] "In calendar year 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of shipments containing prohibited pork, chicken, beef and duck products arriving from China intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agriculture specialists in Los Angeles, nearly doubled compared with the previous year," CBP notes.

"CBP agriculture specialists found most of the unmanifested animal products commingled in boxes of headphones, door locks, kitchenware, LCD tablets, trash bags, swim fins, cell phone covers, plastic cases, and household goods in a clear attempt to smuggle the prohibited meats," CBP summarizes.

Many imported meats from China are "affected by African Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever (CSF), Newcastle Disease (ND), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and Swine Vesicular Disease (SVD)."

#2  We don't have to want to import it for someone to smuggle it in.

But if somebody in the US asked for and paid for it, they need to go to prison, right Joe?

#1  I think that the USA is the largest agricultural nation in the world. Why on earth are we importing food from China or from anywhere for that matter?
