lol, yes, we are indeed behind it. I mean buying farm lands, that's just sinister.
Back in our warlord, nationalist eras, the western country supported companies+japan, destroys and buying up Chinese companies at will.
Now the table of turned, we are backed by the state to buy and replace western+ comapnies.
Not saying two wrongs make a right, but it is what it is.
You know what they say, can't fight it? Roll over and die.
As to food crisis, we are moving to manufacturing, our food production will go down more and more as another 200 million will be moved to the cities with in the decade. That's 70 percent urban population.
You can imagine, the size of Chinese farmers then. We would buy food from all over the world. We are already buying corn, beef, pork, rice and all kinds of food items from oversees.
Why grow it yourselves, when you can buy. Not like our food is so much better or something. Canada and US is clearly more suitable for farming, especially Canada.
