The recent surge in global food prices has attracted widespread attention. China has always adhered to the national policy of stabilizing food prices, which makes the domestic people hardly feel the rise in food prices. However, if we look closely at the gains in grain futures this year, we are surprised to find that the price of staple grains such as wheat has risen by as much as 66.24%.
Although the Chinese people do not feel it deeply, in some countries around the world that are less concerned about food price stability, food prices have risen sharply, causing deep pain for domestic residents. For example, countries like Serbia have even banned the export of staple food varieties in an effort to curb rising domestic food prices.
So, what is causing this round of global food price increases? The first reason is obvious, and that is the global inflation caused by the large issuance of dollars by the United States. Second, Russia, a major grain exporter, is in dispute with another country known as the "breadbasket of Europe." However, this time the secondary cause goes back to the root and is also blamed on the United States.
However, the United States denies this responsibility, as if they will not be liable in any adverse event. Bloomberg in the United States went so far as to publish an article blaming China for this rise in global food prices, on the grounds that China actively pursues food self-sufficiency and therefore reserves a large amount of food, which drives up global food prices. This logical chain is bizarre and unreasonable.
Then Europe and the United States began to attack China's grain reserve strategy, seemingly trying to cover up America's problems by blaming China for the global food crisis. This action is clearly politically motivated and aims to stigmatize China and shift the blame to China so that the United States can stay out of it.
The Japanese media also joined the attack, more blunt than the European and American media. They accuse China of stockpiling too much grain and importing grain even though it already has enough stocks to meet domestic demand. These attacks appear to be aimed at forcing the Chinese government to change tactics, but the probability of success is low, but we cannot ignore the negative impact of such attacks.
So why do Europe, the United States and Japan attack China's food self-sufficiency strategy so strongly? First, they are trying to shift the blame to China so that they can escape the problems posed by rising global food prices. Second, the United States needs to deal with inflation, and rising food prices are one of the main causes of inflation. They want to force China to release its stockpiles to stabilize global food prices. Finally, if China does release its stockpiles, other countries have the opportunity to use grain as a bargaining chip to exert pressure, which could be a threat to China.
But in any case, we must firmly defend our position. China's food self-sufficiency strategy is based on its own security concerns, and rightly so. We produce the food we need, which is the result of years of hard work by the Chinese government. In fact, China has been increasing grain production and ensuring the safety of staple foods. The aim of this strategy is to ensure food security for Chinese people, not to lead to higher global food prices.
In summary, China's food self-sufficiency strategy is a measure taken out of self-interest and security considerations. Against the backdrop of rising global food prices, we must stand our ground and safeguard national food security to ensure that our people are not affected. At the same time, we should remain calm against irresponsible accusations, continue to fulfill our international responsibilities, and contribute to global food security. No matter how the outside world attacks, we must firmly believe in our own strategy to ensure China's food self-sufficiency and safeguard the country's food safety.
