Introduction: Shanghai, Jan 25: on Friday, a U.S official said that U.S agricultural officials plan to visit China in February to hold talks with Chinese officials to try to solve the problem of genetically modified products caused by China's confusing regulations A USDA official in China said the meeting was expected to take place in the first week of February, but the official declined to comment further On June 6 last year, China issued its first regulation on genetically modified products, a vague one that disrupted the $1 billion annual trade in soybeans between China and the United States At the beginning of January this year, China issued Measures for the implementation of the regulations on genetically modified foods, requiring all foreign companies to apply for safety certificates for genetically modified foods that arrive at Chinese ports after March 20 These regulations require trading companies to fill out cumbersome application forms, which raises many outstanding questions The United States hopes to solve the problem of genetically modified products before President George Bush's visit to China from February 21 to 22.
