People tend to think that price of any kind of goods usually goes up as time passed. Although we do complain when we find out any ice cream or snack is no longer 1dollar, we still are willing to pay more and get used to those rising prices. Mostly, such movement has happened very often but gradually and in various or all of fields in international market. However what became issued is that the food price went up sharply in a very short term and on its background, China played a big role as a rising power. Although it is true that there are many other factors that may have led the food price steeply risen up, looking at the global flow that mutually works internationally, the focus should be stayed on China as their enlargement must have a relationship with this increment of price. Moreover, this may cause food crisis as well as economic crisis in other countries, which alarms them to be aware of this situation and be ready for it.
