Research and dig request, re: The flooding in China.

Here’s why I think it might matter and not necessarily be a slide.

China has been hit by the fall army worm, diseases in both the pork and poultry industry, and now massive flooding.

The area being flooded is China’s grain and agricultural belt.

How bad has flooding damaged their ability to produce crops?

And, iirc, locusts are starting to swarm into China from the west. The west is mostly desert, so not heavy crop producing area, but with everything else going on, might those swarms reach the farmlands too?

Will China be able to feed their masses of people?

I don’t know enough about agriculture or flood issues to really do more than make an uninformed guess. If we have folks that do know such things, it might be a good idea to get a head’s up on it.

If we end up having to feed a billion Chinese, what would that do to our own food supplies?

No they won’t. The area that isn’t flooded has been experiencing drought-no crop there either. I try to give a read on crops and food now and then just to give myself a clue.

USA already has shortages. No workers to harvest the crop, or no suppliers buying it. Physical distancing slowing down what is available to process. Milk has been poured out on the ground. Co-ops have advised dairy members to sell their herds and quit.

Winter time in Europe for last couple of years has had food shortages-because of too cool weather for the produce they usually purchase.

I’m not expert, but increased demand/decreased supply to less than demand = inflation and shortages. Keep buying extra each payday-hard times are ahead. JMHO.

Something else to consider-that video that was linked the other day talking about the flooding—mentioned mass migration.

Chinese Refugees to join the Islamic Refugees? With all the crap already going on here—SHTF on steroids.

“If we end up having to feed a billion Chinese, what would that do to our own food supplies?”

Another question is, what are they willing to DO to feed their people?

Why would the USA “have to” feed china?
