China published a new draft law on management of its grain reserves on Thursday to include oversight of stocks in regions and provinces as it seeks to bolster its food security.

Previous rules governing grain reserves only applied to its central state stockpiles but Beijing has this year heightened its focus on risks to food supply.

The law was drawn up as “new situations and questions have risen regarding grains reserves security administration, posing severe challenges to China’s grains stockpile security,” the National Development and Reform Commission said in a statement on its website.

China said in May that it would draft and carry out both near and long term plans on ensuring food security amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

The pandemic has disrupted agriculture supply chains worldwide, threatening to trigger a potential food crisis and as the virus continues to spread across the world.

When we drop a couple of nukes on their ass, they won’t need to worry about grain reserves.

They shouldn’t have built/released the virus.
THIS is why they want Chairman Zhou in office: to deliver the 50 new North American provinces into the CCP fold....especially the farmland, ALL the farmland too.

The virus was not accidental, it was intentional. Bio-warfare

What they are saying is that they can’t trust their
own population as regards their food stockpile.

There is only one reason for that, famine.
Could be hard times are here already.

The government will help farmers mitigate climate change by paying them to “put their land in conservation” and plant cover crops, said President-elect Biden, providing some details on his campaign call to offset greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The sector accounts for roughly 10% of emissions nationwide.

“How’s their dam doing these days?”

Their monsoon typically peaks the last week in July, or the first week in August. Three Gorges Dam is now well out of danger, and plenty of water is in reserve for electrical generation this Winter.

Their food supply is a very different story, as lots of their finest cropland along central river valleys (rich alluvial soil) were wiped out this year by the floods. Most of a rice crop, and lots of perennial crops like orchards as well.

The wheat crop in the North was badly hurt by drought, and their pig herds (their staple meat) were reduced to less than half by African Swine Flu. The even had locust invasions in the South, but their impact was not comparable to these other quite exceptional disasters - one on top of another.
