'Food prices surge as flood, locust, swine fever batter the country | food crisis | Eating show Lines from a famous Chinese poem, \"Who knows that every grain of food in a dish is hard work\", has recently appeared in instruction from China\'s top leader Xi Jinping. At the same time, the popular online \"eating Shows\" have been heavily criticized by the Chinese government and media stating that it is a deception to consumers and a waste of food. This resulted in many of these \"eating shows\" being removed from the Internet. Although the Chinese Communist Party has long proclaimed that there are \"abundant production and abundant harvest for years on end,\" many farmers are worried about this year’s harvest due to the recent floods and disasters that have affected tens of millions of people in China, particularly in the Yangtze River basin. These decreased crop yields have also made ordinary Chinese citizens feel that a food crisis may be on the horizon. ------ Now China\'s media has suddenly turned to declare that \"wasting food is heartbreaking\", and at the same time chastising the \"eating shows\". They seem to have forgotten their long-standing claim of \"abundant production and sufficient stocks year after year\" or perhaps these media are trying to say that they are not responsible for every crisis that comes their way. © All Rights Reserved. #China#foodcrisis#Chinaflood#eatingshow Subscribe: https://bit.ly/2AZ1xm5 Facebook: https://bit.ly/2TWPJYr Twitter: https://bit.ly/3c5Bh6g Contact us: [email protected] Support China Observer: https://paypal.me/chinaobserver'
