Food security is an important foundation stone for national security. As the world’s leading food importer, China is profoundly affected by the state of global food security. Since 2020, the world has been experiencing a new round of food crisis because of the combined effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine crisis, and extreme weather conditions. International rivalries over food security are intensifying,and global food security governance is facing severe challenges. Under these conditions, China’s food imports have remained robust, and its external dependence has increased. As a result, the external risks confronting China’s food security have multiplied significantly, compelling the country to address challenges such as the deteriorating terms of trade for food,spread of protectionism and populism, escalation of geopolitical tensions,potential risks associated with the concentration of import sources,stigmatization it faces when participating in global governance, and extreme climate shocks. Looking ahead, China must uphold a holistic approach to national security, advocating a new concept of food security and strengthening the foundations for food security to establish a new development pattern in this field. Meanwhile, China should improve its diplomatic agenda through the Belt and Road Initiative by increasing support for global governance, actively implementing “Chinese proposals,” and fostering a global community of shared food security for humanity.
