Food supply is always the main problem in China. By looking at their history, the issue of taxation on farmland often drove revolution against central government and most of the time warlords overturned the tax system and end a great dynasty. Now the urbanization and expansion of main cities will create shortages of farmland and cattle ranches, coupled with severe bad weather. The price of food (especially fresh pork meat) will continue to go high, as population is swollened up. This phenomenon is not created out of thin air where you really don't know the exact figure of amount of physical gold being discovered daily around the world. But with a desparate food crisis in a nation like China, you'll eventually realize the situation is dangerously critical.
