I read yesterday somewhere that if China accedes to the WTO its arable
agriculture, wheat in partic, will be decimated by cheap imports capturing
30% + of the doemstic market. One of Lester Brown's assumptions is that
world grain surpluses would soon be swallowed by Chinese demand IN EXCESS of
its own (failing) domestic production. What's the stroty here?
