China has far less arable land per capita than most large countries.[1] There's not much slack for major screwups in agriculture. This has been a major driving factor in China's history. China had six famines in the 20th century, and a long history of them before that. The Great Leap Forward was the last and worst one. [1] http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/AG.LND.ARBL.HA.PC |
