China has stockpiles for China. Not so much for the rest of the world.
The issue is that China has a huge population but surprisingly little flat, arable land compared to its total landmass. A lot of China is mountains or deserts.
The US for example has much more farmable space (the most in the world, or closely tied with India), and even Russia, with so much of its landmass being arctic tundra, still has more than China, and that’s not even taking per capita into account.
So yes China has done a very good job ensuring its own food security given its difficult conditions, but much of the rest of the world will still struggle.
