They aren’t even trying to pretend that the food situation is ok anymore. The flooding has been biblical over there. And to save the big cities and the Three Gorges Dam, they have been diverting floodwaters onto farmland. The rain upstream of the 3GD let up a bit last week but it has picked back up. They are running out of places to put the water.
food situation and flooding severe in China....
Like after WWII when we spent many millions sending food and supplies to people who had recently been led by people who tried to kill us (Germany,Italy,Japan), we could send food to China:
Spam
Hostess Twinkies and Sno-Balls
Snickers
M & M s
Cheetos
Freeze packed Big Macs.
We are a giving nation.
