BEIJING, CHINA — China’s customs agency on Feb. 24 approved imports of wheat from all regions of Russia, the Associated Press reported.
This move gives Russian President Vladmir Putin an alternative to Western markets that might be closed under sanctions.
Russia, one of the largest wheat producers, has not exported to China before now due to concern about possible fungus and other contamination, the AP said.
On Thursday, China’s customs agency approved imports of wheat from all regions of Russia, giving Putin an alternative to Western markets that might be closed under possible sanctions.
Russia is one of the world’s biggest wheat producers but has been shut out of China until now due to concern about possible fungus and other contamination.
China and Russia announced on Feb. 8 an agreement for China to import Russian wheat and barley. Russia said it would take all measures to prevent contamination by wheat smut fungus and would suspend exports to China if it was found, AP reported.
China is the only large government to not condemn Putin’s attack on Ukraine. It did call for restraint and respect for national sovereignty.
As if that wasn’t a continual reoccurring situation.
People gotta eat. Who knew.
It (China) did call for restraint and respect for national sovereignty.
I’m sure they meant it with all their heart.
The msm made a point of sharing that the taliban wanted no bloodshed there either.
Those pacifists :)
Take a look at this map of rail lines in Asia and you'll see what I mean.

I remember when the US supplied Russia and the world with food, grain, barley…..strange Russia is now a leading supplier. I wonder, will Vlad supply us when we need food? At our current rate of decline, I can easily see the US experience extreme food shortages.
Now that Gaytes and China now own our agriculture, do you trust either to meet the demand? I sure don’t. Better have some land with gardens and upon which critters can graze.
It was my observations of the growing supply chain problems
that caused me to build up a six month supply of food in my
home.
It’s not a very elegant supply, but I could get by.
I also have water.
I saw the gas going up, and I think there will be shortages
there also.
So I went out and purchased a used electric car with enough
range to get me 90% of the places I want to go.
I’m also working on a solar setup that will allow me to
charge up the car in case the grid goes down.
Never underestimate the ability of a Marxist movement to
kill tens of millions of people, or leave them stranded
in cities totally out of control.
