West · Answer 2

The most likely consequence that would occur if China is "forced to import massive amounts of food" would be that the "demand for food will rise", driving up 'prices' around the world.

Explanation:

If a country as big and as populated as China is forced to import massive amounts of food owing to the shortage of food produce within China or due to some other reason, the demand for the food would automatically increase giving a reason to the food-producing countries to increase the prices of the food owing to limited stock and supply of food at any given time.
