I've seen garlic from China in non-Asian supermarkets before.

Same, I saw it in Seattle. Which is mind-boggling because tons of garlic grows on the west coast

Yes, on the other hand have heard how shipping stuff to/from China is so cheap that Tyson got permission to ship frozen chickens to China for manual processing, then shipping the processed chickens back to the USA because it might be economically feasible at some point though they probably just use that to force down labor costs in the USA. https://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/10/curious-case-chinese-chi...

China grows an enormous amount (~80%) of the world's garlic so it's not that surprising.

Aldi in New Hampshire has garlic from China, as of last year at least.
