《English Translation》

赵强: Just saw the news—American farmers are complaining on social media: great soybean harvests but no buyers, so they have to throw them away. Ironic.
黄刚: China was well prepared this time, no longer relying on a single country, importing from Brazil and Argentina, and even hitting a record high in self-sufficiency.
赵强: In contrast, American farmers have taken huge hits; soybean losses alone could be tens of billions of dollars, with the entire industry chain impacted.
黄刚: Reports say John Deere has laid off workers, and agricultural loan default rates hit record highs—truly a case of ‘tug one hair and the whole body moves.’
赵强: What’s more, the Midwestern farm states—once Republican strongholds—now have many farmers questioning their choices.
黄刚: When the trade war began, the U.S. thought China had no options, but it pushed China to diversify. A blessing in disguise for China.
赵强: For American farmers, it’s a disaster. They’re the biggest casualties while politicians keep calculating.
黄刚: This also reminds us that food security and supply chain security must never be put in others’ hands.
