For the Chinese it means they will now develop their pastoral and farming lands, and will depend on under ripened GMO crops and Agriculture from Chile.
Sounds familiar?
Just wait until the world goes to war over the few South American countries that still grows food for the expanding world.
But hey! At least we'll be 1,000,000th of a degree cooler. Fucking greenie clueless Idiots.
Setting aside our disagreement on global warming, the rest of your ignorance should be addressed.
The reason that we get a lot of food from South America that ripens during transport, is that we like to eat food that is out of season. If you want to eat food from the US, just eat when it is in season here. I guarantee it won't be in season in South America at that time. You might recall from high school that their summer is during our winter.
Eating less meat means you need less farmland, not more. So decreasing meat consumption would lead to less need to import food.
The US is and for a long time has been a net exporter of food, so if your query about things sounding familiar had to do with the US, you seem to be not knowing what the fuck you are talking about.
China has been importing meat, which is why they bought our biggest pork producer a couple years ago. This plan if anything will reduce China's imports and make them even more in the black on the balance of trade.
Face-palm. We are also losing the war of common sense to China.
