China is Hoarding 1/2 of the Global Grain Supply

 The Bible tells us that during the Great Tribulation that men will be working all day only to earn enough wages to buy the food they need to survive.  So maybe we are starting to see the foreshadowing of this soon coming catastrophic reality?

Anyone who has been to the grocery store knows that food prices have gone up quite drastically.  Anyone who feeds cattle with corn bought from a feed company knows that the price of corn is up over 50% in the past year.  Anyone who has a dog can see the price increase in a bag of dog food which is made from grains and meat.

So what's causing this?  Lots of events that are converging like drought, stressed delivery channels, COVID shutdowns, Americans refusing to go back to work, crazy weather patterns and maybe China buying massive amounts of grain?

As a result, the world is "currently battling the worst hunger crisis this century", and it is expected to get even worse in 2022.  Of course this is just the beginning.  For a very long time, I have been warning that global trends indicate that we are heading toward a horrifying global famine, and that is just one of the reasons why I have been relentlessly encouraging my readers to get prepared while they still can.

Apparently, the Chinese government can also see what is coming, because right now they are hoarding food on an unprecedented scale...

Less than 20% of the world's population has managed to stockpile more than half of the globe's maize and other grains, leading to steep price increases across the planet and dropping more countries into famine.

The hoarding is taking place in China.

If everything is going to be just fine, why would China be doing this?

It simply would not make sense.

But if famine is on the way, the Chinese are being extremely prudent.  And the amount of food that they are now stockpiling is definitely eye-popping...

According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, China is expected to have 69% of the globe's maize (corn) reserves in the first half of crop year 2022, 60% of its rice and 51% of its wheat.

If things hit the fan in 2022 or beyond, Chinese officials have ensured that their people are going to be able to eat.  In fact, they are estimating that their wheat reserves could meet demand "for one and a half years"...

China is maintaining its food stockpiles at a "historically high level," Qin Yuyun, head of grain reserves at the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, told reporters in November. "Our wheat stockpiles can meet demand for one and a half years. There is no problem whatsoever about the supply of food."

This news makes us further wonder if China is making plans for an eventual war with Taiwan that could draw global outrage and sanctions.  We are guessing that America's military won't start shooting at the Chinese military as we had promised to 70 years ago, but China may want to make sure enough food is "in country" to keep their billion people fed.  Fed people are a lot less likely to overthrow their existing government.
