Many countries have announced bans on grain exports leading to concerns about a crisis in China’s food supply. An online video shows that officials in Anhui province went to a wheat field for publicity.Male official: “Under the correct leadership of the municipal government, with the strong support of relevant local departments and the cooperation of all staff …”
The female official says in Anhui dialect: “The market price will definitely be higher than this. The first point I want to make is that (main grain producers) have not only job responsibilities, but also political responsibilities. They should improve ... ‘’
Netizens are worried that any grain is grown this year could be forcibly purchased by authorities, and peasants won’t be able to save grains for their families.
An insider netizen says, “Now my village head has informed each family that the wheat must be sold when it is ripe. The price has not yet been decided, but it is definitely lower rather than higher.”
“The government came to investigate while the wheat was still green. They said that major grain growers have political responsibilities. Those who are hoarding rice must keep it secret!”
Many netizens criticized the Chinese authorities. “Peasants are requested to shoulder political responsibility this time. Have they ever been given any political power?”
“I have a hunch that this year’s grain purchase will probably be mandatory.”
“They used to shovel the wheat seedlings when forced demolition (demo-lei-tion) was going on. Now they came to watch them. Are they insane?”
