...just as US farmers are harvesting...

[Right Wing Assault]

Just report that there is excess mercury in the Chinese corn. It's probably true, too.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

How many $M will the Clintonistas and Obamas earn from this?

[headstamp 2]

Wonder how much poison is in theirs.

[pangaea6]

Are folks in Midwest ready for Trump Trade now? Thanks Obama, Hillary & TPP

[SpaceBar]

How dare they export food. Only we can export food. /s

[COBOL2Java]

Of course I'm sure their farming and harvesting techniques are of the highest standards

[Dr.Deth]

Doesn’t China know about Wickert V. Filburn?

[DUMBGRUNT]

Strange how it works???

[DIRTYSECRET]

Can’t export ours. Ethanol.

[Petrosius]

I did not know that China consumed that much corn.

[1rudeboy]

I’ll leave you to your rant, but for those that follow things more closely, TPP does not include China.

[Celerity]

That must be the NASTIEST corn in the world.

Living out here in Corn world, U.S.A. we wouldn’t give most of the canned stuff to a horse.

This has got to be utter nonsense. Wait until the seeds are tainted.

[ameribbean expat]

I was surprised, too. Wonder when it became an agricultural staple for them.

[Shanghai Dan]

With 4 times the population as the US - they consume a lot of ALL foods...

[wastoute]

Folks in Tennessee know what to do with excess corn!

[Balding_Eagle]

we export mountains of corn.

Some of it is converted to meat before exporting.

We also export boatloads of such meat.

[tumblindice]

We got corn. Readed or unreaded?

[dfwgator]

With 4 times the population as the US - they consume a lot of ALL foods...

And they're hungry two hours later.

[Shanghai Dan]

You joke, but it’s true! Some of the biggest eaters I’ve seen are tiny Chinese women. Not just “a lot for their size”, but “a lot - more than I would eat” amounts. I’m 6 feet and 300 pounds, and many of those 5 foot, 95 pound Chinese women can out-eat me!

But back to the original, consider than half of the entire world’s population lives in China, India, and Southeast Asia. HALF. In a space about the size of North America. That’s a LOT of mouths to feed!
