CTV why would you post this? Canadian winter is coming, what are we going to eat? Snow and ice? You don't need to worry about China, they have been around for over 5000+ years, their land can harvest food all year around! All the trouble with COVID-19 in the USA & Mexico!
I actually wonder why the Chinese flooding gets more coverage in your news room than all the issues China is causing for all the Canadian farmers. Start reporting Canadian problems not world problems please.
Everything gone, except... The RONA!
