Meat smuggling is mainly in Guangdong Province, Guangxi and Yunnan. Smuggling by boat is popular because it is easier to evade authorities, the article said. Smuggling of live hogs and cattle occurs mainly at two crossings from Vietnam into Guangxi Province, and some also occurs on the Yunnan border, the article said. Live hogs are transported to slaughter facilities in Jiangxi, Chongqing, and Hubei Provinces.
