Original title: China's genetically modified imports are not protected?
Except for the approval of the cultivation of genetically modified cotton, the use of imported genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified corn, and genetically modified rapeseed is limited to the processing of raw materials.
Although the outside world is still skeptical about the safety of genetically modified foods, China has almost no defense against genetically modified foods and imports are open.
On June 13, it was reported that China recently approved four GM crops imported from Argentina, of which three are genetically modified soybeans and one is genetically modified corn. The previous day, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture also announced that China has approved the import of three kinds of GM soybeans produced in Brazil.
After the news came out, as of press time, the Ministry of Agriculture has not yet made relevant remarks.
Is the genetic modification terrible?
It is undeniable that genetic modification is an invention that has caused a sensation in the world in the 21st century, but the controversy it brings continues. Some people think that the promotion of genetically modified foods has many benefits. Some people think that it is "the most tragic invention." They believe that eating genetically modified foods is equivalent to taking human experiments as a mouse and putting human health at an unknown risk.
Sun Guangmei, a research analyst at Zhuo Chuang, an information economist, told the “International Financial News†reporter that the global report on the genetically modified species has not yet been fully disclosed. Therefore, the general public has doubts about genetically modified foods or crops. "In addition to the frequent occurrence of food safety problems, it is normal for ordinary people to suffer from fear of panic."
Ma Wenfeng, an agricultural analyst with Eastern Iger, also pointed out in an interview that for genetically modified crops, they should adopt a cautious and scientific attitude to carry out tests. "In theory, genetically modified foods that are edible today are mostly safe, but there is no guarantee that there will be some adverse reactions to humans, so the testing standards must be strict."
An agriculturist told the reporter not to look at genetic modification too horrible because there are many genetically modified foods in our lives. Sweet peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and milk all have genetically modified varieties. These are all passed by the Ministry of Agriculture of China. Approved for planting. There is also the most important staple food in our life: rice. The increasing number of genetically modified foods in our lives proves that we are increasingly dependent on genetically modified foods. This is because GM foods are objectively in line with demand. "The terrible thing is not genetically modified crops and food, but high-tech means in the production process, such as herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers and pesticides."
Strict domestic standards
However, with the large number of imported genetically modified foods imported, some people questioned whether the country has started to relax standards for genetically modified species.
“This kind of understanding is wrong. In fact, the country’s testing standards and certificates for genetically modified species are very strict. In particular, the introduction of foreign crops requires more tests. Moreover, the country’s introduction of foreign genetically modified soybeans and corn is mostly used for Oil extraction, rather than planting, has some differences.†Sun Guangmei pointed out that due to the limited production of soybeans in China, if we do not introduce foreign economic crops, Chinese edible oil will inevitably result in price increases, so it is imperative to do so.
The reporter learned that the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture announced in April this year that at present, the National Agricultural Genetically Modified Organism Safety Committee has approved import safety certificates for four crops of genetically modified cotton, genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified corn, and genetically modified rapeseed. Except for the approval of the cultivation of genetically modified cotton, the use of imported genetically modified soybeans, genetically modified corn, and genetically modified rapeseeds is limited to the processing of raw materials. According to Chinese laws, agricultural genetically modified organisms that are used as raw materials for processing must not be changed in use, that is, they must not be grown in the country. China has so far not approved the import of any kind of genetically modified food crop seeds into China.
“Actually, the crops we import from the U.S., such as corn, are basically genetically modified species. They are all genetically modified in terms of yield and pest control. This is also understandable and conducive to increasing crop yields.†Ma Wenfeng believes that as long as the country is in the inspection process, In the strict control, GM technology will not be so dangerous.
