    Putting words in my mouth.

    You’re being facetious: How do you expect underpaid, overworked farmers to turn a profit and provide for their families if you’re making them grow a bunch of dirt cheap rice?

    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.

    China and America have the exact same (2.5%) hunger rate using the same source.

    Because the PRC is still a developing country, and their hunter rate was much worse in the past, that means (pretending your lies and misdirection are real) they are improving to close the gap and ensure food security.

    Again, all of your posts boil down to:

    wojak-nooo : NOOO YOU HAVE TO HATE CHINA!! SEESEEPEE BOTS NOOOO!! STOP GIVING ME COUNTERARGUMENTS!! NOOO!! HATE CHINA WITH ME!! NO!!!

      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.

                  41 billionaires in government is 41 too many for a “”““socialist””“” state idiot.

            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
