Soybeans can't be sold, and the US media is in a panic, starting to repeat: "China bought more Brazilian soybeans, what's the cost?"
US soybeans can't be sold, and the familiar scene has appeared again.
On the 17th, The New York Times published an editorial criticizing Brazil for increasing its soybean exports to China during the Sino-US trade dispute. It was still "the same formula, the same issue": Brazil exported more soybeans to China, but what is the cost?
In short, The New York Times claimed that because Brazil exported more soybeans to China, US soybeans couldn't be sold, so this "will inevitably lead Brazilian soybean farmers to cut down rainforests to expand planting areas."
In short, American media only wants to express one idea: buying Brazilian soybeans instead of American soybeans from China is destroying the Amazon ecosystem.
To be honest, when we first saw this strange conclusion from The New York Times, our first reaction wasn't anger at the American media for slandering China and Brazil, but rather found it amusing:
Because they couldn't sell soybeans to China, now Americans are acting like a complaining wife, either making outrageous statements in public or repeating some clichés, such as The New York Times constantly asking "what is the cost?"
This twisted logic from The New York Times is easy to refute: if the American media believes that expanding soybean planting will damage the environment, and now American soybeans can't be sold, why not let American soybean farmers return farmland to forests? "Protecting the environment" should start with Americans themselves.
