agriculture - California has a China problem - FEER

When China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) almost four years ago, Western media wrote that agricultural imports from the US would wipe Chinese agriculture away. More efficient production methods and better quality would be no match for the Chinese producers.
Now, the opposite is happening, argues this week's cover story in the Far Eastern Economic Review. (subscription needed)California has a China problem, as one of the experts puts it.
This new trend aligns very well with earlier stories that migrant workers would rather stay at home, because they could earn a better living on the country side than working in China's factories.
