This is nothing new for China. There is a lot less arable land than you would think.
Historically, Southeast China has imported a large percentage of its caloric content from outside China. Only relatively recently have they been getting large amounts of their food from the north China plain.
The PRC is the world's largest importer of food. Should the CCP ever do something really stupid, like invade Taiwan, a lot of people are going to get hungry really fast.

When you think about which birds are the best in competitions, remember, toucan play at that game!
A friend was telling me that his wife was complaining that he was pushing her buttons. He told her he was looking for the mute button. And that's when the fight started.
Another friend was telling me that it was a 15 minute walk to the bar but it was a 45 minute walk back. I said the difference was staggering.
