Food security is inextricably linked to everyone's security, Wan Jianmin, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said on Thursday, calling for further progress in ensuring China's supply.
China has an average grain supply of 470 kilograms for each of its 1.4 billion people, higher than the internationally recognized safety line of 400 kilograms, Wan noted during a "Members' Corridor" meeting with the media ahead of the opening session of the 13th National Committee of the CPPCC in Beijing.
