2.5% is the hunger rate of China according to your source. So I decided to look up the US and see how it compares. https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials/food-security-and-nutrition-assistance/
10% or in other words china is currently 4x better at feeding the hungry than the US is. 10% of 300+million is also around 30+million, so a comparable number but just out of an incomparably smaller population.
So you, following the advice of people who cannot get hunger below 10%, in a country with enough food waste to solve the problem, think that people on the other side of the world, whose hunger problem is only a quarter of your neighbors, should fix their hunger by growing LESS FOOD in favor of cash crops? Is that correct?
It does because you're claiming that the system that America is the best example of: letting the free market run food security, is superior to what China is doing. This is an incorrect statement as proven by statistics.

Putting words in my mouth.
Also you used a different metric from the metric I used. China and America have the exact same (2.5%) hunger rate using the same source. Typical Hexbear lying.
You're using a different source than I used. Look at the US hunger rate under the same definition as the China hunger rate. Different sources have looser ways of defining hunger.
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.
Nah it's pointing out how the approach you suggest (let the free market decide what's profitable to grow for food security) is inferior to what China is doing.
Ok but why are you so angry about people so far away from you when your neighbors are suffering more (at the hands of the people telling us what it's like 'over there's)

If I'm misrepresenting you please let me know
Whataboutism.
That isnt whataboutism, it is a comparison.
An unnecessary comparison. I'm talking about 1 in 40 Chinese people facing hunger, this has absolutely nothing to do with America.

What is this, if not support for a more laissez faire approach?
What is (33 million divided by 330 million) multiplied by 100?

The united states government has a looser way of defining hunger in their own country than a shady investment website that doesnt even have https? Didn't they teach you how to choose reliable sources of information in highschool?

41 billionaires in government is 41 too many for a """"socialist"""" state idiot.
Don't call people idiots, that's very rude and Bernie would be angry at you.

Then immediately ban billionaires and redistribute the wealth. Not too fucking hard it's a dictatorship they can do whatever they want.
Why hasn't President Xi answered my request for Catgirls then? He said he'd fucking do it smh
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
That is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve heard in my life.
Take the beam out of your own eye friend.
