CHINA ANNOUNCES RURAL REVITALISATION PLANS IN ANNUAL POLICY BLUEPRINT
China will deepen its rural reforms as part of efforts to revitalise the agricultural sector and bolster food security in the face of U.S. tariffs, an economic slowdown and climate change. The country aims to improve rewards and subsidy systems for major grain-producing areas, promoting the industrialisation of biotech cultivation. China's focus on self-sufficiency and supply stability sharpens its response to potential disruptions to agricultural trade.
- This initiative reflects a broader shift in China's approach to rural development, one that seeks to strengthen the nation's agricultural sector while navigating the complexities of global trade and environmental concerns.
- How will China's rural revitalisation plans balance economic growth with environmental sustainability, particularly in light of growing international scrutiny over the country's handling of climate change?
