one time the US tried to control china via taking over its food supply through unscrupulous trade the way they do to other developing countries. this is a perfect example of US imperialism of your ever curious or any thing

in essence it boils down to them baiting china into agriculture deals, only to skyrocket the price of product after allowing the chinese to become reliant on american product
>If China refused to pay, the U.S. threatened a global basedbean embargo and a lawsuit in the WTO. The fallout was devastating—within a year, nearly all of China’s basedbean processing companies had gone bankrupt. Of the 1,000 basedbean processors in China in 2003, only about 90 survived by the end of 2004, 64 of which were controlled by foreign investors
ultimately they got out of it by doing a state owned grain reserve. china is awesome :0
