The country's Ministry of Commerce late Monday issued a notice directing local governments to encourage people to stockpile "daily necessities," including vegetables, oils and poultry, in order to "meet the needs of daily life and emergencies."
The agency also urged local authorities to make sure that people have an "adequate supply" of essentials this winter into next spring.
China has stressed the importance of shoring up food and other daily supplies in the past — including in September, ahead of a major weeklong holiday period. But those statements are usually very obviously intended for local authorities to read, and rarely capture the attention of everyday citizens. The inclusion of language in this statement that mentions families, though, appears to be putting people on edge.

Didn’t have these problems just a year ago
Yes, panic buying will improve inventory.
Guess where we get a lot of our processed food?
As in A LOT of our processed food?
Fun times ahead.
This makes no sense.
At this point, the harvest is in, for better or worse.
The amount of food available to buy is fixed.
If people stockpile now, the store stocks will just run out sooner.
I urge my conservative friends to do the same thing!

“When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”
Eventually, during 7-year peace deal, the Four Horsemen are loosed upon the Earth. The first horseman IMHO, is the Beast (for shorthand, the Antichrist).

Wow - when communists tell you its time to be concerned about food supply, that’s something.
Yep
You are so right!
“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger. Underestimation can be fatal.”
Fun times similar to March of 2020. I saw shelves stripped for weeks if not months.
Didn’t they tell people to eat less a few months ago?
War preparations?
“I urge my conservative friends to do the same thing!”
We are not china. We have plenty of farmland. Much of china’s farmland has been polluted or flooded and the soil eroded off.
Small “Farm to home operations” are growing leaps and blounds in the US and home gardening is the highest it has been in years. Chin’s population mostly live in cities..much of our population is rural and we live in mostly single family homes and can grow a garden in the back yard.
We have plenty of corn and wheat in grain bins around the country.
The price may go up due to inflation but there will not be long term shortages.
Gonna be a long winter.
Yeah, no kidding. That’s what got my attention too. I was already prepping.
I remember going to Walmart seeing a 60 foot 5 tier strip of shelving completely bare accept for sheared wheat ;-)
