The development of China's genetically modified regulation

Introduction: exporters are still concerned about the impact of China's regulations on genetically modified soybeans and other imported genetically modified products Last week ASA and the Chinese government held a seminar to further clarify how to trade according to GM regulations The meeting was attended by Chinese crushers, domestic and foreign trade dealers, suppliers and other people However, government officials have failed to allay concerns that trade will be further severely disrupted after the March 20 rule The U.S Supreme government is also concerned about the implementation of the regulations Therefore, it is likely that when President Bush visited China in February, the implementation of the regulations will remain unclear So the implementation of the GM regulations will be one of President Bush's main talks What people are most concerned about is whether China will implement the new measures for the implementation of genetically modified products for the contracts signed before March 20 and the ships arrived after March 20 Officials from China's Ministry of agriculture believe the implementation of the new measures will not be delayed Officials at the Ministry of Agriculture said they had not received an application from an overseas company for a GM product safety certificate However, the official said it was likely that inspection samples would be required before shipment Officials at the Ministry of agriculture also said zero tolerance tests would not be applied to products declared non GMO An analyst at the national grain and Oil Information Center said all non GM soybeans should be tested Domestic detection instruments can detect 0.01% of the transgenic components As far as we know, none of the overseas soybeans, including Brazil soybeans, contain 100% of the GM free ingredients It is generally believed that China plans to use technology and scientific fortress to protect domestic agriculture The comments have fuelled speculation that GM rules could at least help raise domestic soybean prices Dong Xiang, from the GM Product Safety Office of the Ministry of agriculture, claims that China's approach to safety certificates is fair and consistent with WTO rules and world trade practices.
