The repoliticisation of China’s infrastructure investments in the global south
China’s state-led infrastructure approach has shifted its role in global agricultural markets from a passive participant to a visible political and economic actor. Brazil illustrates this dynamic. Since the late 2000s, it has become a destination for Chinese agricultural investment. Following unsuccessful attempts to acquire land amid heightened food-security concerns, Chinese actors shifted towards mergers and acquisitions of incumbent agribusin…
E-commerce as a battlefield in the US–China tech race
The competition between the United States and China is often framed as a second Cold War. While the first Cold War coincided with rising wages, at least within European welfare states, today's rivalry tends toward a race to the bottom in labour conditions. Contemporary strategic competition is driven less by ideology and more by the pursuit of influence through control over productive, financial, and digital infrastructures, where labour exploita…
What does the mid-1990s soybean liberalization tell us about the role of foreign investment in China’s rural industrialization
This article reassesses the role of foreign investments in China's rural industrialization in the 1980s and the early 1990s.It draws upon the power disputes between agribusiness transnational corporations (TNCs) and central domestic players in the country's soybean complex.I follow Chris Bramall's argument that food processing infrastructure grew progressively since the Maoist era in the 1960s and 1970s, instead of springing from foreign investme…
China's financialized soybeans
Neomercantilism is commonly portrayed as a central mechanism of China's global agribusiness engagement. It implies reordering the international food regime by moving away from financial and trade liberalization and securing stable import supplies and price controls under state support. However, this article raises an alternative interpretation through an empirical‐rich investigation of the prominence of the state‐owned China Oil and Foodstuffs Co…
Food security and power struggle in the Chinese 'battle of the beans
The mid-2000s foreign headway over China's soybean downstream complex, known as the battle of the beans, reinforced an uncritical nationalist discourse over food security based on a Sino-foreign dichotomy. This article demonstrates through an empirically rich analysis based on four crucial Chinese SOEs that such a discourse ignores diverging capitalist accumulation strategies as two SOEs (COFCO and Chinatex) took advantage of global soybean price…
Why and how is China reordering the food regime? The Brazil-China soy-meat complex and Cofco's global strategy in the Southern Cone
Chinese agricultural investments in the Southern Cone and the Brazil-China soy-meat complex are playing a pivotal role in the international reordering of the contemporary food regime. China's neo-mercantilist strategy, as exemplified by COFCO, carries elements of both continuity and rupture with this process. With an assertive yet flexible strategy, COFCO has adapted to China's internal requirements, the specificities of host countries, the geopo…
