Why is agricultural production in China distributed in this way?
A.
Much of western China is covered by dense rain forests.
B.
Much of western China is mountainous and has a desert climate.
C.
The Huang He frequently floods, destroying farmland in western China.
D.
The Gobi Desert covers western China, making it incapable of supporting farms.
B. Much of western China is mountainous and has a desert climate.
The mountainous and desert regions of western China have limited water resources and a harsh climate, which makes it difficult to sustain traditional farming practices. Therefore, agricultural production in China is mainly distributed in the eastern regions where there is more fertile land, better infrastructure, and a more favorable climate for farming.
