We were once the world’s largest exporter of soybeans, but in just a few decades we became the largest buyer.
Behind this is a stolen seed, a financial massacre that caused more than 1,000 local potato companies to go bankrupt instantly! But in the face of bloody lessons, we quickly awakened. Sinograin launched a textbook-style counterattack against international grain merchants with unimaginable strategic reserves!
How many soybeans are hidden in its warehouses? Why has the weather in the United States become “better” because of this?
Only by understanding this “soybean war” can you truly understand the determination of our 1.4 billion people to “survive”**.
💡 Core ideas: ✅ 1. Significance to the country: Sinograin has created the ultimate “ballast stone” for national food security, successfully thwarted the financial hegemony of international capital, and ensured China’s negotiating confidence in international trade. ✅ 2. Significance to the world: China’s strategic reserves broke the absolute pricing power and monopoly of the four major international grain merchants on the soybean market, and changed the power structure of the global soybean market. ✅ 3. What it means to us: Every soybean reserve is the genetic memory of the Chinese people’s “fear of hunger” and their unyielding character, which has protected the jobs and stability of 1.4 billion people.

If you are a university student—especially from states with strong Republican leadership—be cautious about traveling to China. Before making any plans, consult your school counselor or international programs office. Some universities are now requiring students to submit detailed travel itineraries and contact information before and after returning from China.
If you are employed part-time by your university or hold positions connected to state or federal programs, be aware that traveling to China might create legal or security complications. When in doubt, seek guidance from official university or government channels, or verify with reliable AI information sources such as DeepSeek or ChatGPT for general context.
For those currently employed in the United States, visiting China may invite additional scrutiny—especially if you have Chinese heritage or work in government-related sectors.
For example, one of my Filipino clients, a couple, faced issues recently. The husband, a private contractor, and the wife, who works for the U.S. military in a non-sensitive position, applied for permission to visit China. Despite submitting their detailed itinerary three months ago, their request remains under review, forcing them to consider canceling their November 1st trip.
These developments suggest that travel restrictions and scrutiny could continue to intensify in the coming months and years. The declining number of U.S. students studying in China may reflect growing concerns over these issues.
Some observers believe that American students who study in China often return with a more nuanced and informed view of the country—sometimes challenging certain media narratives. This, in turn, may contribute to increased government caution around such exchanges.

American logistic expert reports from China video: Ice Silk Road opens up vast Arctic to China and Russia. Western companies aren’t interested. 美國物流專家發自中國通報視頻: 冰上絲綢之路將為中俄兩國打開廣大的北極地區。西方公司對此不感興趣.
China and Russia are opening up new trading routes through the Arctic, saving shipping companies millions of dollars in fuel costs and crew time.
These efforts also mean huge gains in expertise in icebreaking, meteorology, climate research, mapping, and navigation.
The Arctic also contains vast amounts of energy and miners, mostly in the Russian north.
The Ice Silk Route is an important trade artery, providing both Russia and China a sanctions- and blockade-proof channel for energy and manufactured goods.
Western shipping firms believe that the Northern Route, mostly controlled by Russia, is too risky, irrespective of the cost savings or the geostrategic advantages.
