If you think the penny has fallen in China by now, you're wrong. Eyes on Animals shares a photo showing a crate loaded onto an airplane. There are pigs in this crate. During this trip 1,000 pigs are flown to China.
Just googling yielded the following:

The photo was taken in Brest, France on March 10, 2020. The pigs that go to China have been carefully selected for 'reproductive performance', i.e., sows that can get many healthy piglets. On 10 and 11 March a total of 2,000 breeding sows were deported to China. To produce as many piglets as possible. Of course, the Chinese want to keep eating meat. They haven't made the link yet. Swine fever in the country, which cost more than 100 million pigs prematurely, avian flu and the current corona pandemic do not seem to change that.
