Will locusts fly from Africa to China?

Locusts don't fly from Africa to China. In the spring of 2020, locusts will move to India, Nepal, Myanmar, southern Tibet and western Yunnan. China's border areas are separated by Kunlun Mountain and Himalayas, so it is difficult for locusts to cross high-altitude cold areas.

The border between southern Tibet and western Yunnan in China is adjacent to the desert locust occurrence areas of Nepal and Myanmar, and a small amount may move into China with the monsoon, but the probability of harm is very small.

In recent years, the ability of locust monitoring, early warning and control in China has been continuously improved, the level of prevention and control technology is at the world's leading level, and there are sufficient reserves of locust control drugs and equipment, so the risk of large-scale locust outbreaks in China is very low.

Extended data:

The locust plague in 2020 began in East Africa, and now it has crossed the Red Sea into Europe and Asia, and reached Pakistan and India, just one step away from China.

Since June+February, 5438, the worst locust plague occurred in Kenya, Africa in 70 years, and the worst locust plague occurred in Ethiopia and Somalia in 25 years. It is estimated that the number of locusts in these three countries has reached 360 billion, and the three countries immediately declared a state of emergency.

On February 10, the United Nations held a briefing at its headquarters in new york, calling on the international community to take urgent action to raise funds to help countries in the Horn of Africa resist the locust plague and avoid serious locust plague and humanitarian crisis.
