On April 21st, China's management measures for the issuance of "provisional certification" for imported genetically modified products for two years were formally terminated and replaced by long-term biosafety certificates. An official from the Ministry of Agriculture's Office of Genetically Modified Safety said that this is the first day of "normal management" of imports of genetically modified products. In an interview with this newspaper, the official disclosed that as of now, 16 kinds of foreign genetically modified crops have passed the safety evaluation of relevant departments in China and have officially obtained qualifications for entering China. This figure surprised Shi Pengxiang, the project leader of Greenpeace, who has long been concerned about this issue. He has been worried about the Chinese government issuing “passes†to foreign genetically modified crops. In February of this year, the first batch of five crops of the Monsanto Company in the United States received a "security certificate," including one for soybeans, and two for corn and cotton. Recently, there were 7 GM rape varieties and 4 corn varieties tested. They come from four companies, including Bayer and DuPont. It is reported that all safety certificates have a period of use, and the effective time for obtaining a safety certificate for the currently-examined GMO species is 3 to 5 years. “Since 2002, the Ministry of Agriculture sent a group of experts to conduct safety assessment experiments on some genetically modified agricultural products and preliminary proof of the safety of these genetically modified foods under the current technological conditions,†said an official from the Ministry of Agriculture. The safety certificate issued by the Ministry of Agriculture clearly stipulates that importers and exporters must ensure that genetically modified soybeans can only be used as processing raw materials and strictly prevent their release. However, Shi Pengxiang worried that "Every soybean is a seed, and no one can guarantee that they do not fall into the farmland." He said that once GM soybeans are planted in the fields, they may hybridize with wild soybeans or traditional soybeans, resulting in genetic contamination. “The consequences of this will not only destroy the diversity of genetic resources, but may also have a huge economic impact on our country.†He said that China is the fourth-largest soybean producer in the world, and the United States, Argentina, and Brazil, which rank among the top three countries, all have different proportions. Planting genetically modified soybeans. "Therefore, non-genetically modified soybeans are our country's competitive advantage." He believes that at present, the problem that our government should focus on is how to prevent GM soybean seeds from falling into the hands of farmers; in the event of a negative impact, who will bear the liability for compensation. Therefore, the relevant liability mechanism needs to be established.
