    There is no other way to interpret this comment other than demanding the farmer(s) sell the product of their choice at the market, favoring the individual over the collective here.

    The government could make them grow green rice but give them extra money to make up for it. Farmers deserve fair pay. Of course, the millionaires and billionaires of the CCP wouldn’t want that.

                    a state sincerely working towards resolve its internal contradictions

                    Then immediately ban billionaires and redistribute the wealth. Not too fucking hard it’s a dictatorship they can do whatever they want.

          No, like the implication that the government wont subsidizing or give benefits to the farmers who grow green rice. Because it sounds made up tbh
