Reuters- China calls for overhaul of farm subsidy rules under WTO
I’m not a fan of these either, but there’s nothing stopping China or any other country from dropping their subsidies and tariffs and moving to actual free and open trade. Everyone doesn’t have to hold hands you just do it.
I expect the CCP to give up farm subsidies at about the same time they give up their slave labour, and start respecting intellectual property
Canada’s dairy mafia has to go we are paying double or more for milk,cheese etc Outright robbery
I wonder, if China asks us drop supply management, would the little potato? He does admire their basic dictatorship.
Supply management allegedly exists to provide dairy farmers a ‘decent living’. How well do dairy farmers live? What constitutes a ‘decent living’?
They now exist to provide Lino Saputo with an ‘honest’ living. Not to mention final say in who becomes leader of every single federal political party. Sopranos were amateurs compared to this guy.
Farm cartels in the developed world practically prevented the developing world from achieving a state where they could supply more food products to the world, thus growing and stabilizing their economies.
Had there not been trade restrictions and subsidies, then migrant farm workers from Mexico would not have had as much incentive to sneak into the US to provide even more subsidies to US farmers for example.
Free trade may be better than what currently exists, but you literally don`t understanding basic economics if you think free trade has been a positive for the Western world.
That’s because it isn’t free trade, its deals between oligarchs and their faves.
No, are you the kind of person who says `But that wasn`t real communism!“?
Free trade is literally retarded.

How does Canada get away with dairy cartels The price difference is so bad a few years back they caught some cops smuggling a trunk full of cheese back from Detroit which was then sold to pizza joints
Love it or hate it every nation subsidizes its farmers directly or indirectly, it’s called food security and we all benefit from it in some way. It helps farmers offset operating costs and barring price fixing from assholes like Weston, I get to have a relatively cheap loaf of bread. Win win. Yes, I know I pay for these subsidies through my taxes but it’s better than dealing with shortages.
China wrote the book on farm subsidies and is still writing it so I’m not sure what they’re aiming at here especially when one considers they import a third of the world’s fertilizer to help feed its one billion plus people.
Yup. Being able to feed one’s citizens so they can run the strategically necessary industries is important. Too bad much of the west wants to shut down their strategically imperative industries, like energy, transportation, etc.
My favorite is the “Europe’s Best” frozen vegetables which are grown in China and sold in Canada, never touching Europe.
In other, related news, the Orcish Republic recently threatened the City of Vancouver against adopting a Taiwanese sister city. Strangely (for craven, cowardly Canadian politicians), the Mayor (a maggot and trough-swiller of the highest order) is resisting his orders. Wonders never cease.
