On August 11, Xi Jinping, regime leader of the CCP, said he is determined to stop food waste in restaurants. After he gave the order, everyone from the government to private sectors took action. This has led to a speculation as to whether China is facing a food crisis. After Xi’s order to stop food waste in restaurants, the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China decided on August 13 that it would establish a working group to plan a “Food Appreciation Act.”

CCTV and other major state-run media also participated in the campaign urging citizens to limit their food consumption. People’s Daily collected Xi’s talks on food and distributed them in an important speech series. CCTV even criticized live streams of excessive eating as a serious waste of food.

Moreover, many Restaurant and Dining Industry Associations in different cities in China began to promote the “N-1” ordering initiative and “Empty Tray Action”. The “N-1” initiative limits ordering to 9 dishes for every 10 diners. The “Empty Tray Action” encourages people to make sure all food is eaten or taken home instead of wasting it. Some of the largest short-video platforms like Douyin (TikTok) and Kuaishou have already removed many videos of excessive eating and even deleted accounts belonging to big eaters. These series of actions have led to a speculation as to whether China is facing a food crisis.

This year from January to July, disasters keep happening throughout China. In addition to the outbreak of the CCP virus, in the second quarter of the year, massive floods in the south caused flooding in many important crop production areas in 27 provinces around Yangtze River, Huaihe River valley and southwest China. Hailstorms and drought hit northern China, while severe locust outbreaks occurred in parts of the north. On August 12, the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration of China released a report on the purchase of summer crops that showed a decrease of 30 percent in purchasing of wheat from provinces like Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Henan.

However, official media in Jiangsu and Henan continued to report a good harvest of summer crops. They even claimed that “the production of summer crops has reached a record high again” in Henan Province. The state-run media, Xinhua News, argued that the decrease in summer crops purchases was due to the epidemic, which made farmers reluctant to sell their grain as they wanted to keep it in their households.

Looking back at history, on August 13, 1958, People’s Daily had also exaggerated the harvest of rice as “early rice yields 36,900 pounds per acre”. At the time, production of crops was falsely reported in many places during the Great Leap Forward, leading to famine that caused tens of millions of people to die from starving. In addition, one of the “three anti” campaigns in the early years of the Chinese Communist Party was the “anti-waste” campaign, which eventually had an impact on the economy and led to many unjust cases.
