U.S. Media: Transgenic Genes Let Chinese Love Hates is the Key to Sustainable Development
The United States "Link" magazine article on February 18, the original title: China hates but does need GM China has 1/5 of the world population, but only about 7% of the world's arable land. Food security is one of the country’s most serious problems. Therefore, it is reasonable for Chinese state-owned enterprises to announce the acquisition of Syngenta, a giant of pesticides and seed production. Beijing seems to be saying that science and technology, especially genetically modified crops, are the key to a sustainable future.
There is only one problem: most Chinese people hate genetically modified organisms.
In 1997, China issued the first GM crop license, cotton, which has been widely used. However, since the approval of planting genetically modified papayas in 2006, China has restricted GM crops to the laboratory.
The facts show that the choice of food is personal behavior. In China, many families favor safe and healthy food. In supermarkets, Chinese consumers choose foods labeled with pollution-free, green, natural or organic labels. Obviously, "GM" is incompatible with this pattern of consumption.
Aversion to genetic modification occurs in most of China's population. A poll found that 84% of respondents opposed genetically modified crops. Contrary to people's intuition, the higher the academic qualification, the more likely it is to oppose GM crops.
Even so, the No. 1 document of the Central Government, the "number one" decree of the Chinese government, has focused on agriculture and biotechnology issues for 13 consecutive years. The Chinese leaders stated that domestic researchers “have to boldly innovate in research and occupy the commanding heights of genetically modified technologies.â€
Whether consumers are aware or not, China is relying on GM crops. Today, China imports 5 million tons of genetically modified corn and more genetically modified soybeans each year. “They are mostly used for (producing) vegetable oils and animal feeds,†said Carl Prey, an economist at Rutgers University who studies Chinese attitudes toward genetic modification. “But it is also being eaten by people.†In addition, although China will ban Syngenta from bringing genetically modified crops into China, the company will soon be able to sell hybrid rice in China and use spraying chemicals to induce genetic mutations in rice and corn to evade supervision.
