china has been pushing for greater veggie consumption, not necessarily out of the desire for veganism, but because it makes it easier to lift various regions out of poverty. meat production is relatively specialized and requires a lot of things like medications for the animals, so it can be cost prohibitive in the poorest and most remote areas.
so if you look into their poverty alleviation efforts, they almost always focus on vegetables and fruits that have good yield in their region based on the science. sometimes they do other crops. but ive never seen them do anything in relation to livestock in the impoverished areas. its always some sort of plant or mining something. they also sometimes encourage them to move into larger cities.
