Chinese Minister for Land and Resources, Lu Xinshe, has announced that the regime is struggling to maintain the 120million hectares of arable land required to feed China’s population because of urban and industrial sprawl. “We will not plan any new large scale projects to return farmland to its natural state, beyond those that have already been planned,” he said. China has bought vast tracts of arable land in poor nations. There are now estimated to be one million Chinese farmers in Africa, alone.
