In the face of an imminent food crisis in China, the anchor of CCTV, Bai Yansong, has spoken out saying that the Chinese people need to restore the feeling of hunger. His opinion was broadcasted by state-run media recently and has been met with fierce reactions from the public. Recently, the CCP donated 163 tons of rice to Russia while asking its citizens to reduce the consumption of food.
Due to the severe impact of heavy floods and the epidemic in China, food issues are at the center of discussion. Currently, with the floods still happening, the CCP is creating a strong atmosphere of “Wasting is shameful, frugality is honorable” in society. The “Frugal Movement” is promoted everywhere, along with all kinds of strange policies. Restaurant orders are limited, leftovers are forbidden, and only people over 175 pounds can eat roasted pork.
