I'm reminded of that weird news story a couple years back when the government raised to alarm on seeds from China people were getting in the mail.

The Truth Behind the Amazon Mystery Seeds is a great read.

tldr/spoilerNumerous US government agencies were investigating the phenomenon of people mysteriously receiving seeds from China which they said they hadn't ordered, but...

spoiler are you sure you want to spoil it and not read the article?
OK...every case this journalist investigated turned out to be people who had actually ordered seeds at the beginning of the pandemic and had forgotten that they'd ordered them by the time they arrived months later.

How anyone takes that country serious is beyond me.

Is this done out of genuine concern about garlic or to mess with the import process by forcing them to perform checks on all garlic imports?

It's either empty fearmonger or this dude or his friends are going to profit from cutting garlic imports.

This is one of the typical hypocrisies by the US to engage in the protectionist policies that they claimed to oppose against their free trade slogan. This is typical of Breton Woods institutions by the Western European diaspora that are supposed to support free trade, but demand protectionism in industries that poor countries have an advantage in.
