    霍丽曼表示，牛肉通过香港进入内地，不清楚有多少美国牛肉通过香港转运至内地，但美国出口到香港的牛肉已经超过了香港的牛肉消费量。美国农业部数据显示，去年美国向香港出口了超过154,500吨牛肉和牛肉制品，较上一年增加近19%。

    （Reuters） - “Huge amounts” of American beef are bypassing China's import bans, a top U.S. trade official said this week, even as the Chinese government cracks down on agricultural smuggling.

    The meat enters through Hong Kong, Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Robert Holleyman said at the National Lieutenant Governors Association conference on Wednesday.

    U.S. beef is currently barred from mainland China because of previous cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease. U.S. trade officials have been trying to get China to lift the ban, but with little success.
