The food shortages appear to be about to hit China first and hardest, and faced with famine China has few options. One it has is seizing food with it's military forces.
Koreans worry that China may be at war due to food shortages. If famine and epidemics have spread in the past, China has always waged war.
Start gardens, start aquaculture, hydroponics, and aquaponics systems to feed yourselves and your communities. Get chickens, rabbits, ducks, and other small animals you can keep in backyards or even indoors. Make sure to form strong relationships with your neighbors, so that if your neignborhood is threatened, you can work together to defend yourselves no matter what the threat. Don't forget that medical supply lines have collapsed too, and look at replacing prescription medications with herbal remedies you can grow yourself.
It is possible because the United States has a very large territory, but Korea is impossible because it is a small territory. american senior
I know someone in my village that has a large aquaculture project growing tilapia - in his garage. While gardens and farms require land to grow, aquaculture usually does too, the fact is that aquaponics can be done in your home, as my acquaintance's tilapia growing facility is.
By using the waste water from the tilapia he could grow some food plants hydroponically, like lettuce, kale, and etc. That is aquaponics, and I strongly advise you to learn more about it. Here's a good place to start:

You can also keep rabbits and chickens in your home too, although they're filthy animals and it's not pleasant.
It's better than starving, which is what the Chinese will want.
I think Koreans are wise to consider China's history in view of the present circumstances. China has few options to feed it's people presently, and one of them is starving Korea.
Be safe even so, my friend.
Thanks for your kind advice. American senior.
Currently, the food shortage in China is very dangerous, so Koreans are in crisis. The situation of poor Koreans like me is harder than expected.
So, Koreans want the Korean government to give money to the lower classes in Korea.
My grasp of history is that dependence on authorities eventually backfires and gets folks killed. I undertake to ensure I have independent means of providing necessary resources for my survival. I strongly recommend doing so, at all costs.
Very basal necessities are not optional, and the fact is that public order and government is not able to be guaranteed. South Korea particularly provides evidence of the insufficiency of government, as the information I have seen regarding changes in the executive office during the last decade reveals.
Government is as dangerous as it claims to be useful. Dirt and potatoes make no claims, and I trust them.
American senior, you are right. However, there is this American saying. "Do you have money to buy your freedom?"
In modern Korea, there are many people who cannot buy their freedom like me.
When I make dinner, sometimes it includes potatoes. Potatoes have 'eyes' where roots are emerging. I can trim these off and not cook them in my dinner, and even leave an inch of starchy tuber attached to the eyes.
These eyes are seeds. I can go out to parks, wild areas, abandoned places, and plant these potatoes. If food becomes unavailable in stores I can go to places where I planted potatoes and get food. You can do this with carrot tops, onions, and other crops.
Money can't save you. Food can. Make sure you can get food no matter what anyone sells. I know South Korea eats crops that aren't familiar to me. Plant them in little out of the way glades and on the edges of copses of trees. I can't teach you how to grow freedom, but without food you can't be free. Start there.
American senior, you are right. The food I made will set me free. However, Korea is too small and has a large population, so I don't have any land for farming.
Thank you! I wish you good health and longevity.
