The Director of the US International Development Agency said that China was "absent" in alleviating the efforts of the grain crisis, and China returned!

[Global Network Report] According to the New York Times, the US International Development Agency (USAID) Director Samantha Ball announced on the 18th that countries that refused to condemn Russia's "invading" Ukraine may accelerate the global food crisis. She also declared that when China "accumulated fertilizer and food", millions of people in eastern Africa were hungry. Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in the United States, responded to this on the evening of the 18th, criticizing the United States and its allies to manipulate the global food trade system, stating that "the United States has not taken any measures to reduce its own food energy consumption, and even take the opportunity to raise the price of food prices And seek private interest. "

"New York Times": The person in charge of the US aid agency criticized China in the food crisis caused by "invasion" (Ukraine) in Russia (Ukraine).

According to reports, Ball spoke to China during a speech at the US think tank strategy and the International Research Center on the 18th local time. She claims that there are predicts that the shortage of food may lead to the surge in the corner of Africa, but China only donated $ 3 million to the United Nations World Food Program in 2022 and the United States donated $ 2.7 billion. The New York Times said that the food crisis began in the destruction of the local area and intensified after the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict. The World Grain Program estimates that as many as 20 million people may be hungry by the end of this year. It is reported that the Russian -Ukraine conflict has seriously hindered the exports of wheat exports in Russia and Ukraine and the supply of fertilizer in Eastern European countries, disturbing the global grain market and triggering concerns about a new round of African famine.

"Those countries that stand by in this (Russia and Ukraine) war can no longer stand by in this global grain crisis." Ball claimed. She urged China to provide humanitarian assistance, export more grain and fertilizer, and share their domestic inventory and agricultural product production information to soothe tense market emotions. In addition, Ball has no reason to accuse China of "lack of absence" in non -assistance.

Regarding the U.S. unreasonable accusations, the New York Times stated that Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in the United States, introduced the cooperation between China and the World Food Planning Department in a response on the evening of the 18th, including the establishment of a global nature in China Humanitarian emergency warehouses and hubs, as well as assistance work related to development projects in more than 140 countries and regions in China.

It is reported that the embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu criticized the United States and its allies to manipulate the global food trade system. "The United States has not taken any measures to reduce its own food energy consumption, and even take the opportunity to raise food prices and seek private interest." Liu Pengyu criticized the US behavior "extremely irresponsible."

The United States has pointed his spear on Russia and Ukraine on the global grain crisis, but has previously pointed out that it is precisely that the Western sanctions against Russia have seriously affected Africa's food security. In June of this year, the non -league's rotating chairman and President Senegal Salle once said that Western sanctions on Russia have seriously affected Africa's food security. The World Grain Program also issued a warning at the time that human beings may face "the largest grain crisis after World War II".

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at the time that the Russian and Ukraine Conflict made Russia and Ukraine, a global food exporter, almost withdrew from the global grain trade system. Well worse at the situation. Zhao Lijian pointed out that in fact, there were American shadows behind the global food crisis. A few countries such as the United States manipulate the global food trade system, build "grain hegemony", firmly control international grain prices, and repeatedly seek huge profits through speculation and rendering the tension of food. While the United States has accused other countries of "hoarding food" and requiring others to "open warehouses and put food", its food energy consumption has not decreased at all. At the same time, the United States has also used this to promote high food prices and seek private interest, which is very irresponsible.

"The right to survive is the greatest human rights. The problem of hunger is the common enemy of all human beings. Under the current situation, the international community should work together to persuade and talk, restore peace as soon as possible, and create a peaceful and stable environment for the grain crisis. The sanctions are not conducive to the cooling of the regional situation, and it will only exacerbate the grain crisis and cause greater humanistic disasters. "Zhao Lijian said.
