      I think China just announced that it is going to import more barley and wheat from Russia (apparently there were restrictions for some areas in Russia; now these restrictions are all lifted).

      :aus-delenda-est: is apparently so angry about this they released some statement criticizing China

      People should definitely be more aware of how reliant the PRC is on food imports. It has a significant effect on their foreign policy options

      China has almost 10 times the population of Russia

      Yet China has less land, and a not-insignificant percentage is desert/high mountainous plateau

      I feel like this is the most significant barrier.
