China aims to upgrade farmland the size of the Republic of Ireland.

China has said it aims to upgrade almost 25 per cent more farmland in 2021 than it did this year, in an attempt to boost its food security while the coronavirus pandemic disrupts supply chains.

The agriculture ministry said in a statement on Thursday that 100 million mu (6.66 million hectares, 16.5 million acres) of farmland would be upgraded to a “high standard” – up a quarter from the target of 80 million mu in 2020, and roughly equal to the size of the Republic of Ireland.

Large-scale mechanical farming would be used on the upgraded farmland to increase crop yields and productivity, while the irrigation of a further 15 million mu of farmland will be upgraded to conserve water, the ministry said.

Acknowledging the task as “very challenging”, the ministry said priority should be given to grain-producing areas to make up shortfalls in China’s agricultural infrastructure and increase capacity.

"One of the interesting things in my life experiences being a U.S. attorney for 5 1/2 years and then being chief of staff and then acting attorney general, I always know what's publicly available is only the tip of the iceberg as to what the federal investigators have access to," Whitaker said. "So, I'm sure they're looking at more than just this email, some of these other facts that we know are available publicly."

 

"This investigation has been going on for months and I think the Department of Justice is well-positioned to get to the bottom of it," Whitaker said. "There’s no doubt these activities, as we’ve known all along, his involvement with Burisma doesn’t smell good. The question is, was there criminal activity? I think that’s ultimately going to be up to the Department of Justice and the attorney general, whoever that is at the time to make that decision."

Inside the West Wing: Raised voices during chaotic Oval Office meeting

There were "raised voice levels and animated conversation" during a chaotic Friday night meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office, a source familiar with the meeting tells Axios.

Driving the news: As the N.Y. Times first reported yesterday, the meeting included — at various times — Rudy Giuliani, Gen. Michael Flynn and conspiracy-minded election lawyer Sidney Powell.

Chief of staff Mark Meadows and counsel Pat Cipollone pushed back strenuously on some of the more far-out ideas, including impounding voting machines and making Powell special counsel for election fraud.

"It's basically Sidney versus everybody," the source said. "That is why voices were raised. There is literally not one motherf—r in the president’s entire orbit — his staunchest group of supporters and allies — who doesn't think that Sidney Powell should be on that first rocket to Mars."

"These are the hardcore defenders. This is the one thing that has united people."

Between the lines: The obvious exception, of course, is the president of the United States.
