A recent report by the Chinese government has caused some unrest not only among the Chinese people but also around the world. 


In the report, the Chinese government is urging local authorities to ensure there is enough food for the winter. In addition, it has advised people to store essential items. 

No such announcements were made by the Chinese government even when the corona began to spread in 2020. 


 In this situation, the announcement from the Chinese government, which is almost like a food emergency, has sent the world into a state of alert.

The weather forecast for this year in china is 15 degrees Celsius lower than ever before. china is concerned that this could affect vegetable production and transportation services. 


The province of Shandong was inundated by recent heavy rains in northern China. Thus the yield of vegetables is severely affected. 

As an extension of this, the price of vegetables in china is currently significantly higher. Vegetables are sold at a higher price than meat.

However, there is a widespread perception among Chinese people that there may be other reasons for China's announcement than winter and vegetable production. 


The coronavirus is currently spreading again in China. Currently, the Chinese government has imposed curfews in some places.

The Chinese people think that the Chinese government is likely to bring about a nationwide general freeze if the corona spread continues to increase.


This is confirmed by a report in the Chinese state-run Economic Daily. The Economic Daily reports that people need not fear the Commerce Ministry's report, but that it is a precautionary measure against food storage if people have to be isolated due to the corona.


As the Sino-Taiwan conflict intensifies, there are speculations that china is planning an attack on taiwan and that the Chinese government may have told the public to stockpile food to avoid food shortages due to the war situation. As a result, the public is more likely to buy and stockpile as much food as possible.


However, it is not possible in the current context to operate entirely independently of China. 


In this case, the Chinese government's announcement of food availability - even though it was domestic - has caused world panic. Everything that happens in china is a mystery. Dependence on china is a 'knife to the neck' for the nations of the world.
