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.
