Not really, Being self sufficient for war and producing excess agriculture product and dumping it on foreign markets are two completely different things. And two can play at that game - china can make the same 'national security' nonsense argument about information espionage when it comes to the internet. And in the modern world - the internet is more useful then food for a nation state - america can lose 30 million people and still win a total war as long as its nukes are functional. Its all about protectionism.
