China's Food Shortage is Worse Than You Think
Xi Jinping started the Empty Plate Campaign to combat food waste and food shortages due to flooding and other issues. China imports a good chunk of its food, and the trade war has had a massive impact on it as well.

In Taiwan, it's normal for guests to wrap up food from weddings. Food waste is looked down upon.
I'd think wrapping up the leftovers and taking it home would be a sign of respect to the cooks. I mean you liked it so much, you'd rather eat it later than chuck it out.
China: "Refuse to wrap up food to save own face"
xi: we need to manage food better, you must only order what you can eat
I'm old enough that my parents would say, "Eat all your food, there are millions of people starving in China."
"1984" wasn't supposed to be an instructions manual.

Oh my god let me tell you...
2 options in my parent's house: Eat it or go to bed hungry and eat it when you wake up. Lol
I can confirm this. Worked on a cruise ship as a waiter, cruises that had large chinese groups were extremely wasteful. It was pretty common for them to take a little of everything on the open deck buffet, and only take a bite out of everything and leave it half eaten.
As a Chinese Malaysian, I still have constant struggle to remind my parents not to make or order too many food and rice. Because of that, eating becomes suffering to me. The same goes to my relatives.
"Winnie the Pooh Xi Jinping" You have been banned from r/Beijing and we have deducted 50 points from your social credit.
OPERATION: EMPTY PLATE
in the '50's it was "eat it all.. THINK of all the STARVING KIDS IN CHINA !!
America: eat all your food or you wont get desert.
Whoa! That 'Good Samaritan' law sounds super important. Imagine stopping to help someone not knowing that you automatically become liable for them. Also, I can only imagine how many people who needed help were neglected or abandoned or even died unnecessarily because bystanders didn't want to be help financially or legally liable.
My mom insists on "fresh food only" which means not eating leftovers. Now I see where that comes from. My aunt's apartment in Honghu, Hubei didn't even have a microwave when I visited 2.5 years ago.
The Chinese don’t know what they are missing out on...leftover Chinese food is THE BEST!😋
everytime you say "Chairman Xi" I misheard it as "German Cheese" so my brain went like "I mean, don't get me wrong, it's alright. But I wouldn't follow orders from cheese, let alone the German kind"
