What percentage of the food that China needs to feed its own population is actually grown in China? We grow enough food to feed all Americans and others besides.

Because they know what’s coming in 2022 and they’re saving up for themselves.

I hope they’re not hoarding bananas. They’ll be disappointed in a couple of days.

What about Biden forcing nations to ditch dollars to avoid arbitrary sanctions and also handing out free money left and right?

They’ll do something to preserve them. Pickled bananas, freeze dried bananas, just plain dried bananas, whatever. I wouldn’t put it past them to salt them. They got some weird ideas about food.

Survival types know the huge problem food poses.

It spoils. Simply that.

Peanut butter lasts. But not forever. Honey lasts. But not forever. Meat? Shut off power to the fridge and see how long it lasts.

China hoarding food face this problem. Anyone hoarding food faces this problem.

The McCandless kid in Alaska discovered it. He killed a deer or elk or something. Got a meal out of it. Out of the entire meal. Then another was worrisome. And then the maggots appeared and the rot. Hundreds of pounds of meat. He got at most 2 pounds of it.

Read some survivalist sites to see the problem. You got crops? Great. Think you can store through the winter and summer to the next crop? The rats and mice and bacteria laugh at you.

Simple solution, get a freeze drying machine. That stuff keeps practically forever.

There are food that can be stored for a long time. At least long enough to get you through a year. The military has experience in stockpiling food for long-term storage.

China is embargoing and keeping within its borders its supply of fertilizers (especially potash and phosphorous) which are necessary for vegetable flowering and health and vigor.

That used to be true decades ago, but now the US is a net importer of food. Like manufacturing we got rid of most family farms and ranches using zoning, property and inheritance taxes, ESA regulations, and many other laws. The same applies to commercial fishing, which used to be the third largest source in the nation’s balance of trade income.

We are now a service and software economy. Food is grown and packaged in the rear of grocery stores. Only Facebook and Google are the mentors of the young.

Yep. It’s pointless. Every pioneer family starved every single winter. No one made it through. That’s why the west is a vacant wasteland today.

And yet our ancestors managed to store food for long periods before easy refrigeration became widely available. Drying, smoking, making jerky, canning with heat, and many, many more. Refrigeration is easier and faster, sure, but....there “are” other ways...

The Chinese will east anything that has
Legs, except tables;
Wings, except planes;
Swims, except boats.

Look up pemmican the native Americans used it to carry meat for years without refrigeration. Freeze dried meat lasts for decades sealed in air tight vacuum bags. Salted dehydrated jerky keeps for years as well. The British sailed around the world and held a world wide empire with hardtack and barrels of salted meats. It’s where the expression scraping the bottom of the barrel comes from. Hardtack from the 19th century has been found and tested to still be edible. Canned foods last for hundreds of years, recently canned food from the 1800s was found in a lake bed in Canada from that era the researchers tested it for.pathogens the found zero , they also tested for.nutrients over half.
.remained after more than a hundred years they determine it was still.edible but were prohibited from trying it but scientifically it was safe to eat still. If you know what you are doing you can store food for.decades of not centuries

In what form? Ownership shares in food companies? farm land? Grain inventory?

They’re planning to start a war over Taiwan and they’re stockpiling in order to survive an economic embargo.
