Chinese ham is currently unavailable in the USA.

Chinese ham (yunnan ham, xuanwei ham)

Chinese dry-cured hams produced in China’s western provinces of Yunnan and Hunan are world famous. They are extremely popular in China, although they are not permitted to be imported into the United States. Smithfield ham is the closest substitute.

Some people are ordering Majestic hams from this vendor:
