As funny as it is, I would think the issue they are concerned about is slightly less silly than it seems. I would think that the worry is that the price of garlic from China can undercut the American grown garlic and if the whole industry would shift to Chinese garlic given the quality and low price, it would give a bit of power to China since shifting back to other sources of garlic if and when China decided to either block or hike the prices.I would think is something like that.
