Xi Jinping is hiring 87,000 agriculture police officers, and they're coming for Chinese farmersFarmers can only plant the crops the government approves, and the planting of climbing vegetables like beans or melons and squashes in front and backyards is strictly forbidden pic.twitter.com/ot16E2qsBe— Songpinganq (@songpinganq) April 21, 2023

seen it attached to multiple videos like this one of cops in fields with workers

first guess is that this is just a cracking down on kulak-type stuff

    the planting of climbing vegetables like beans or melons and squashes in front and backyards is strictly forbidden. It's part of a rural "beautification" campaign. Apparently Chinese government thinks the bean and melons in front and backyards makes community dirty, untidy...

    Hmm, evil communist authoritarianism or wholesome good freedomfying HOA rules? :us-foreign-policy:

        One of the 'sources' I found was trying to relate this 'food supply control' narrative as part of some coordination between Xi and WEF. The initial clip I saw even had a Bill Gates meme (playing tiny violin) in the corner of it. Real :galaxy-brain: :brainworms: :frothingfash: convergence.
