China's food self-sufficiency is around 94.5 percent, the reason that China still buys food is just because it's so cheap to do so in the world market, otherwise China can easily fill this tiny gap.LOL. China also has the most mouths to feed, and not enough land to grow food for said mouths.
Even deserts get flooded regularly but that doesnt mean a desert has enough water.

Just because food is so cheap in the global market, if not so, China can easily fill the gap. People tend to work on things that make more money.
LOl, are you kidding me, it's US begging China to buy their food, not the other way around, and US is not the only country that produces food, China is still the world biggest food producer by a big margin. You have a trade war with China, so just stop exporting food and see what will happen, try it.

US has this magic card, should ban food export to China so tens of millions of Chinese will starve to death, then US win this trade war hands down. LOl, why not just do it?
"We can produce enough food for ourselves, but it does not mean we don't need international market," Tang said, noting that grain imports are important for balancing the agriculture structure and reducing trade deficit."
Why China can feed its 1.4 billion people
China considers grain security an utmost priority. By
China's population has peaked and we can still feed our population easily, with modern farming and hybrid crops, it will only become easier in the future. We waste and give away more food than we imported, last year Xi appeal to the people not to waste too much food and western media started to report that China was experiencing a severe food shortage, your media seems to really hurt your people's brain a lot.
Because wasting food is bad, no? but people still waste food anyway, I admit Americans are better in this regard, they pack up everything and take them home, Chinese just throw them away. This is something we should learn from Americans.Riiiiiiight. I wonder what led him to make that appeal?
When I was in US I found people in restaurants paked up the leftovers and took them back home, In China most people just leave them there. So I think Americans have a better habit in this regard.You mean this is what China needs to learn from USA?!
"Each year, 108 billion pounds of food is wasted in the United States. That equates to more than $161 billion worth of food thrown away each year. Shockingly, nearly 40% of all food in America is wasted."
No, actually Americans are very frugal when it comes to ordering dishes, while Chinese tend to order much more than what they can possibly eat, it's a cultural thing.LOL. Did it occur to you that is so because the average US serving size is perhaps more than three times the size of a typical serving elsewhere?
