A food safety factory shutdown has Americans hunting for baby formula. Readying themselves for a covid-19 lockdown, Chinese in Beijing emptied store shelves. Emerging from lockdown, some in Shanghai are visiting well-provisioned markets. U.S.-China agricultural trade is booming, but many are still being left hungry. Food security, sustainability and safety remain issues.

Abstract (Summary)
This paper looks at student activism and student nationalism at Christian colleges in China during the 1920s and 1930s. By concentrating on the Christian colleges, it looks at the interactions between the students at these schools, their foreign faculties and connections, the growing influence of the Guomindang and CCP and their effects on the rise of student nationalism. In the 1920s, the Christian colleges often found themselves the targets of student uprisings. After a process of sinification, however, by the 1930s their students were participating on the same level with students at the government institutions. This paper examines these changes and argues that by the 1930s the students at the Christian colleges, while wanting to prove their patriotism because of the lingering charges of "denationalization," actually depended on the foreign ties of their universities for more successful activism.
