Shortage of farms and water threatens grain output targets
By Jin Zhu (China Daily)

By contrast, the cultivable land in the country sharply decreased from 130.04 million hectares in 1996 to 121.72 million hectares in 2008 due to rapid urbanization and natural disasters, figures from the National Bureau of Statistics show.

Also, the current per capita cultivated farmland is about 0.092 hectares, which is only about 40 percent of the global average. Less than 4.7 million hectares in the country can be considered reserve farmland, Zhang told the legislature.

"But these grain output increases cannot be continued since China does not have much additional farmland to be cultivated in the future," he said.

Officials have said that China might not be able to meet government agricultural output targets for the next decade.

(I don't get it, 600 years of pent up demand is going to be hard to accomodate when you are short of food except for poisonous shit you stuff down your kids mouth like I just posted about, short of water, and in china's case short 90 million women - can the wise MQ tell me what happens when a bunch of young slant eye guys who are hungry, thirsty, and sexually starved don't get satiated what is going to happen?)

I have lots of food, water, and women, and I am still pissed off all the time. If I started starving and thirsting and sexually frustrating, I would be murdering and killing making Chuck Norris embarrased, I see bad times ahead for this planet! 7 Billion and growing angry frustrated people about to go Medieval on the governments asses all over this dirtball.

Take us out Deek...
