China, the world's largest food importer, has been hoarding food, contributing to the rising food prices. China has 20% of the world's population but its socialist economy and policies are not helping Chinese farmers stay competitive or productive. The problems in Chinese agriculture and farming are pushing global food prices up. ****************** We discuss world economy, history, and politics. Our main focus is U.S.-China relations. We make short videos and tell you the hidden stories. ****************** References: Chinese References: https://kknews.cc/agriculture/ebn2j3r.html https://cn.nytimes.com/china/20190927/china-land-rights-farming/zh-hant/ http://finance.sina.com.cn/china/hgjj/20140107/163117872045.shtml http://hjkx.km.org.cn/c/2021-03-02/3849395.shtml https://chinaqna.com/a/9526 https://posts.careerengine.us/p/627bac3d45474a7cbcdbd270?from=latest-posts-panel&type=previewimage https://news.sciencenet.cn/htmlnews/2015/1/311103.shtm#:~:text=%E6%88%91%E5%9B%BD%E5%8C%96%E8%82%A5%E5%B9%B3%E5%9D%87%E7%94%A8%E9%87%8F%E6%98%AF,%E7%A7%91%E6%8A%80%E7%A0%94%E7%A9%B6%E4%B8%AD%E5%BF%83%E5%85%B1%E5%90%8C%E6%89%BF%E5%8A%9E%E3%80%82 English References: https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/china-evolving-demand-world-s-largest-agricultural-import-market https://earth.stanford.edu/news/overuse-fertilizers-and-pesticides-china-linked-farm-size#gs.1ipuzu https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3098328/chinas-ageing-rural-peasants-labour-their-twilight-years https://chinadialogue.net/en/pollution/7008-the-polluted-legacy-of-china-s-largest-rice-growing-province/#:~:text=Researchers%20from%20the%20Chinese%20Academy,the%20national%20food%20hygiene%20authority. ****************** 🔔 Subscribe for updates: null ****************** 🔵 Make sure to share this video with your friends!
