Food production also needs a market like many other
things. USA may be the food basket of the world, but China is the
biggest market for their products.
Weaponization of food is also
going to backfire on the USA and EU if they ever were to attempt doing
that to China. Now that China is well prepared for that, even before the
first shot is fired by the USA, it is backfiring on all cylinders.
In
fact, we could say that China is using food as a weapon of retaliation
at the start of the trade war by cutting off soya bean imports from the
USA. China knows how to strike where it really hurts. This created a big
problem for USA farmers with nowhere else to sell their soya bean
harvest. China is the biggest soya bean market, imports of which are
used both as animal feed and for human consumption. There are so many
things the Chinese can do with soya beans and is as important as rice.

That means to say that 'People in glass houses should not throw stones'. The stone may boomerang to hurt the thrower instead.
