Regarding Xi’s capitulation,an epidemic of swine flu has killed nearly half of China’s hogs, the major source of protein in Chinese diets. Chairman Xi needs our pork and soybeans to keep the people from becoming restive.

Why do the people at Newsweak and others, never recommend that CHINA eat crickets and people?

I mean, we have 300 million people, China and India over a billion each.

Who is really more of a stress upon global food supply?

Xi is going to Russia for these items. Unfortunately Russia’s swine problem is even bigger than China’s and the only place to purchase the quantity of soybeans to feed China comes from the US. We could very well subsidize our farmers until this ends as well as seek other markets to sell in.
