Request for Intent - large amounts of PLA rations

Gentlemen,

I have discovered that chinese e-commerce sites sell a humongous variety of ration items.
Ranging from MRE type rations, to compressed food bars, pilots chocolate, canned fruits and MILK POWDER.

Yes, PLA milk powder.

According to the sellers it is forbidden to export any of these outside of chinese territories, but i have managed to get one of their MREs into transit , slated to reach me 3rd june 2021.

Before i invest a lot of time and effort into bringing them out of china and to me, and then to interested buyers, i would like to see how many people are interested and what kinds of rations they would like so i can arrange a test shipment to see what will make it out of chinese customs

broadly: these are the types of rations they have on offer
(some are clearly marked as from PLA factories , some are not, but all of these the sellers assure me are for military use)

Canned foods - meats, fruits, etc
Compressed ration bars
MRE type rations
MCW type rations
pilots chocolate
( this is selling online for 40 usd per pack, i will get it in at MUCH less than 40 per)
All prices will be below market rates, a PLA type mre is going around 45 on ebay

please revert all your interest in what kinds of rations and what types you would like to

great find! let us know how you like them.

just an FYI - and not an intent to harsh your mellow; Chinese milk powder is notorious for being adulterated with non-food ingredients such as melamine and other bad stuffs - just search google or youtube.

additionally, this and other bad stuffs makes it into fresh and dried noodle - no telling what they're putting into packaged foods.

i would be careful of any Chinese rations - and I am saying this as a native Asian.

I cant speak as to why they see a need to have milk powder, im not on their MRE research committee.

I would think their PLA factories are held to a higher standard than what they make for civilian consumption, a lot of these are marked as coming from PLA factory number so and so.

Up to now i have only recieved a single request for info. Come on, its by the case, and theres so many types, surely someone will get interested :)
