Times Weekly, March 11th Times Weekly: At present, there are people or organizations in China who oppose the production and promotion of genetically modified crops? What are they mainly opposed to? Fang Zhou: The composition of the people or organizations that oppose GM is complicated. They can be simply divided into three groups: First, environmentalists and Greenpeace. These people have been opposed to genetic modification. In fact, these people oppose all genetically modified products; Some people with political goals, such as the ultraleftist “Utopia†of the “Cultural Revolution,†believe that the promotion of genetically modified rice and corn is a traitorous act that ignores the lives and lives of ordinary people. Third, there are others who do not understand the situation. Because they do not understand and add the existence of conspiracy theories, they are very scared. They are afraid of problems and therefore they are also opposed to them. Times Weekly: The debate over genetic transformation is mainly a reflection of geopolitics or a reflection of the scientific community. Fang Zhou: In the scientific community, the mainstream supports genetic modification. Only a few scientists question the safety of genetically modified foods and oppose GM foods, but they are neither numerous nor representative of their research institutions. More than 130 scholars from all over the country initiated the “Utopia†and signed a letter to the National People’s Congress on the eve of the “two sessions†and “a letter to the National People’s Congress asking for an immediate halt to the commercial production of GM rice and cornâ€. Without saying any reason, the vast majority of these scholars who drafted and signed were humane scholars or nationalists. They were not scientists. They did not understand what is genetically modified. Times Weekly: There are kinds of arguments. Now that only China is promoting genetically modified staple foods, China is only an experimental field in the United States. Western countries, especially some European countries, oppose genetically modified crops. Fang: Only China’s claim to promote edible genetically modified staple foods is completely ignorant. The country with the largest area of ​​genetically modified staple foods in the world is the United States, and EU countries generally support genetically modified crops. Only France opposes it. Asia, South Korea and Japan also oppose genetic modification. There are two main reasons for the emergence of these opposition voices. First, the opposition to genetically modified crops is based on political, economic, cultural, and religious beliefs. These countries advocate nature and oppose natural products. They believe that genetically engineered crops have damaged crops. Because of its natural nature, so it does not work. Second, there is an excuse for these countries to fight a trade war with the United States. They fear that the United States will occupy their market and thus set up trade barriers. So in these countries, The scientific community complained.
