The hogs will still be raised and slaughtered here, but the carcasses shipped to China to be cut up and packaged for sale there before being sent back here.
That doesn't even make any damn sense. Seems like it would cost far more to ship them back and forth than it would to just process them here.

None of those links say pork is being shipped to China and then being processed and shipped back to America.
Trump has bragged several times about the export of pork to China.
