Not every country had the capacity to store massive amounts of food like Shenzhou.
Not every country was capable of establishing a network of refugee shelters like Shenzhou, either.
What Shenzhou could accomplish, looking around the globe, only a few could match, or by the time they thought to do so, it was already too late.
The history of Shenzhou People suffering from hunger was too long, their experience with starvation too abundant, leading to an intrinsic and national-level fear of famine.
Therefore, no other country valued food security like Shenzhou did, from the government to the citizens—stockpiling food for emergencies was the will of the entire nation and community.
Gao Yuan believed that every country must have the granaries he was familiar with, but he realized he was wrong; Persia had strategic food reserves, but not everywhere had them.
