China has purchased record amounts of soybeans from Russia in recent months amid trade tensions with the U.S., Bloomberg reported.
The world's biggest soybean importer, China has nearly tripled its imports from Russia, according to Bloomberg. Russian trade data show the country sold 850,000 metric tons of soybeans to China between July 2017 and mid-May this year.
Farmers usually vote GOP
Trump is screwing his base over....
I don't think this will be ignored at the midterms...
I am listening to the most recent episode of "The Americans"
Claudia is explaining how Gorbochev has no concent of Russian history, how he is trading away his country's power to the US (because he wants to stop the nuclear arms race) and Claudia explains how everything Elizabeth has done has been chosen by a cadre of political insiders that are more hard-line, against peace efforts...
Interesting timing juxtaposed against Trump's efforts to create turmoil in the world...

This explains the Loony Leftists' politics if they get their information from equally Loony Hollywood Leftists. Echo chamber.
I think it is interesting because I think Russia has trouble growing enough soybeans to feed its own animals/industry requirements
So does Russia need money so much it would sell soybeans it needs for its own food chain???
How badly are the sanctions really cutting into Russia's economy???
Soybeans from Russia makes up a small percentage of what China buys, but this is likely expanding. Planting season is just getting underway.
China has halted purchases from U.S., canceling several orders recently, and is sourcing from other nations.
Wow--China, with over a billion people, cant harvest their own soybeans? That seems odd that such a technologically backwards country like China would be able to at least master farming...guess not.
Russia is a net importer of soybeans, these tiny purchases are a poorly choreographed dog and pony show.
