Have you considered that what is more likely is that we ship our good pigs to them (which they use) and they ship us back meat from an inferior breed of pigs they raise in China ?

A 2-liter of Pepsi is almost as much as a cheap 6-pack of beer. Sorry, PepsiCo, you lose. Yay!

Try this..
Fill a glass with ice.
Fill up 3/4 of the glass with sweet tea.
Add chocolate milk to fill glass.
Everyone I tell about it says “YUCK”.... until they try it.

Thanks Black Agnes -- I've grown Stevia before, have used the leaves here and there, not bad at all.

Why would you bother to do that? Livestock is not particularly fond of sea voyages, you will have dead loss, not to mention you have to bring them food and everything else. If you really want to send the pork to China then send it AS pork: dead and frozen. And then of course there’s the question of why you’d want to send your higher quality, higher priced, product to a poorer country that can’t pay as much.
The more likely scenario is the normal scenario: raise em here, kill em here, sell em here.

Ah, yes, like this:
Except I bought this bottle at big Lots, it cost $1.50 and came from Mexico, but on the plus side, it was made with real sugar and tasted great after being poured over subzero ice!
Bit I remember getting these out of a machine for a nickel. A far cry from a buck and a half...

Exactly, also our milk I remember having Milk and Eggs delivered to our doorstep. The milk came in glass bottles. Now I can see having plastics especially in an Earthquake prone state like California. There needs to be shelves that can prevent items from falling out.
Yeah, when I saw the 2 Coke Bottle I was thinking of tossing it out since they were empty but I had to rethink how fond memories of a time that made sense and life was simple.

The more likely scenario is the normal scenario: raise em here, kill em here, sell em here. It is the more desired scenario, but is it the real one ?
Not everything (especially in international trade) is being done competitively or in our best interest.

it was only 6.6%
because some think it is better, sales could increase by say 10%
if it is perceived as better by new customers, sales can grow

It’s the more logical scenario.
It’s not about competition or our best interest. Any plan they have that would involve taking American pigs (more expensive), raising them in America (more expensive), shipping them live to China (insanely expensive), and selling them to Chinese people (not that much money) would bankrupt the company. It’s just plain a dumb idea. If there’s a market for American pork in China (a rather big if), it’s a small market that can easily be fed shipping frozen pork. Or if they really really want American live pigs in China then they can go with embryonic implants, that lets them RAISE American pigs THERE much much cheaper than any of these other paranoid ridiculous plans.

New Coke may have been a disaster, but the stock price of Coke took off like a rocket.

When I was younger many moons ago, I used to like to drink Pepsi and some other soft drinks. When they all went from sugar to fructose, their flavors all decreased in taste.
That doesn't mean I'd start drinking the stuff if they went back to sugar, but many products went downhill because of the swapping of cane sugar for fructose.

I remember the RC Cola and Coke flavors of the early 60s, and they tasted way better to me than the current productsYou are correct. RC Cola used to be pretty good. Now it tastes more like coal than cola.
