China sowing the seed of cooperation to improve Indonesia's food security....But, but, but, but....

"China’s hybrid rice might be Indonesia’s latest solution to improving its food security, but at what costs? 

Indonesia is the third-largest producer of rice in the world but isn’t self-sufficient, having to import the grain every year to make up for the shortfall.  Kiki Siregar @KikiSiregarCNA"

And despite the generous offer by China, transfer of technology and all the benefits of a better hybrid rice, here are the standard '4 buts' from a typical western educated parrot. Whatever China does to help countries of the Global South, whatever great feat or achievements, no matter how good the intention and offer, in this case, improving Indonesia's food security, and even the possibility of becoming a rice exporting nation, it is always but, but, but and but. Better to ask the Americans or western nations for help, but this got to wait for them to massacre the Palestinians first. They are now very busy with their genocide of the Muslim Palestinians.

Below is a typical CNA article on China.

"JAKARTA: Rice planting is set to be a new area of cooperation for Indonesia and China, promising better food security for the Southeast Asian state but also possibly tilting their bilateral ties.

The ambitious plan to progressively develop a million hectares of rice fields in Central Kalimantan province with Beijing providing its rice technology in support emerged from high-level bilateral talks last month.

(1st but) While local farmers CNA spoke to welcome the initiative, analysts caution that key issues like the differences in local conditions, lack of infrastructure and overall costs stand in the way.

(2nd but) The analysts also highlighted Indonesia’s uneven farming track record - expressing concern the latest undertaking will repeat previous failures over the past three decades. 

 

(3rd but) And even if success is reaped, at least one expert is concerned that it could tilt the balance of Indonesia-China ties, especially if China’s signature hybrid rice is involved.

(4th but) “If we export the hybrid rice from China, Indonesia will be very dependent on China because the parent seed is controlled by China,” said Prof Dwi Andreas Santosa, an agriculture expert from Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB)."

My recommendation to Indonesia is to agree with this parrot reporter Kiki Seregar and believe in the buts of the anal lysts and experts, don't accept the hybrid seed from China and go on planting the same old seed as usual. There will be no concern to worry about. No need to even bother about whether the so called concerns are valid or silly. Just be like what the Americans want the African states to be, be poor and ignorant forever and repeating what they are doing forever as an unprogressive third world state.

 And trust the intelligence of western educated parrots and so called experts and anal lysts. They have Indonesia's interest and well being in their hearts. And they are very clever as well, full of words of wisdom. Indonesia can live with lower grade rice and forever be faced with the problem of food insecurity. Not to worry, the experts and anal lysts would come up with better ideas for Indonesia, when they have one.
