that claims Taiwan, most of the South China Sea, parts of Russia and India as their own. I doubt that all of those territories are going to be relinquished voluntarily.

I'm not opposed to any country securing their food supply, but when the infrastructure for the food producer and transporter of those goods can be used as economic leverage then I see the point made in the video. For example, it could be calamitous if China controlled a significant part of the grain markets worldwide while there was a major drought in the US/Canada Grain Belt states.

BTW, India has a large population than China with 1.4 billion human beings.
