www.china.com.cnis a mainstream news website administrated byChina International Publishing Group (CIPG). On May 28, 2012, a article posted by this website disclosed shocking truth about the safety certificate issued for Monsanto GM RR soybeans: The Ministry of Agriculture used a Monsanto paper published with advertisement nature as science evidence, which surely causes anger among the Chinese people!No responsible person signature, no institution official seal, means nobody undertakes responsibility, is this the type of report the Ministry of Agriculture claims “GMOs have all passed through strict environment safety and food safety assessment, all can eat them with reassurance.” The paper emphasizes, the food “safety” basis of Monsanto’s GM soybean, actually is a few English papers published during 1983 – 1998. The Ministry of Agriculture liketaking an oath devoutlystated “Our side independent examination”, should have been reports on animal test carried out by Chinese institutions, but in-fact was an English paper written in 1996. This report written 7 years before Monsanto submitted its application to China described 6 animal laboratory tests, with the longest only 90 days, the shortest only 28 deays – just playing with the procedures. The Safety Certificate issued by the Ministry of Agriculture to Monsanto, from procedures to content, is all false. The concerned department and officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, by doing so have committed serious crime of dereliction of duty to the 1.3 billion consumers of China!

Summary: Imported RR soybeans (Roundup herbicide resistant GM soybeans) has already accounted to over 80% of total consumption of soybeans in China, but the assessment and approval procedures for the initial imported GM soybeans, has been oppugned that it’s examination procedures exists with defects. According to news reports, on Feb. 20, 2012, Gu Xiu-lin and other three citizens upon application were approved to check the “certification documents for the GM soybeans obtaining safety certificates”.
Imported RR soybeans (Roundup herbicide resistant GM soybeans) has already accounted to over 80% of total consumption of soybeans in China, but the assessment and approval procedures for the initial imported GM soybeans, has been oppugned that it’s examination procedures exists with defects. The oppugner is Gu Xiu-lin, special invited professor to the Research Institute on Society and Economic Behavior, Yunnan University. The suspected assessed/approved certificate is obtained by Monsanto, the well-known U.S. agricultural giant. (Reported by China Management Paper, Feb. 25, 2012).
近年來關于轉基因食品是否有害健康的問題一直爭論不休，而農業部對外宣稱全部安全。
Are GMO foods harmful to health? During recent years, this controversy never stopped, but the Ministry of Agriculture announced that they are all safe.
On April 20, 2012, Shi Yan-quan, Deputy Director, Agricultural Finance and Education Dept., stated, the greatest amount of GMO products which entered food processing is GM soybeans, of which over 50 million tons were imported during 2011. Imported GM soybeans, GM rapeseeds are mainly used in food processing, to make food oil. To date, the Ministry of Agriculture China has issued import safety certificates for totally 5 species of GM soybeans and 13 species of GM maize, all these approved and imported GMOs have passed through strict environment safety and food safety assessment. Their safety assessment indicates that these GMOs approved for application and import have the same level of safety as their non-GMO counterparts, all can eat them with reassurance.
這邊農業部表態言猶在耳，那邊首批進口審批程序，卻被質疑檢測程序存在缺陷，民眾應該選擇聽誰的呢?
The statements by the Ministry of Agriculture are still echoing in our ears, now we have heard that the assessment/approval procedures of the initial imported GM soybeans has been oppugned that their examination procedures exist with defects, to whom shall consumers select to listen?
根據《轉基因生物安全管理條例》，出口轉基因產品到中國的公司，要先提供在本國允許其投放市場的文件。
According the “Agricultural GMO Safety Administration Regulation” (issued by the State Council in 2001), foreign companies who intend to export GMO products to China, must first submit official documents showing that they have been officially allowed to enter the market.
According to news reports, on Feb. 20, 2012, Gu Xiu-lin and other three citizens upon application were approved to check the “certification documents for the GM soybeans obtaining safety certificates”. Amongh the “Independent examination reports carried out by third parties entrusted by the Chinese side” included a GTS40-3-2 Glyphosate Herbcide Roundup Resistant Food Safety Assessment Report, which Gu Xiu-lin found with no responsible person signature, and no institution official seal. The essential No.4 section of this report introduced 6 animal tests, but all these animal tests were quoted from the same foreign reference paper. Upon searching Gu Xiu-lian found that this foreign reference paper was a paper published with advertisement nature, and the author’s contact address was listed as Monsanto company.
How could an American company’s advertisement nature paper be turned into scientific evidence, this might cause anger among Chinese people! No responsible person signature, no institution official seal, means nobody undertakes responsibility, is this the type of report the Ministry of Agriculture claims “GMOs have all passed through strict environment safety and food safety assessment, all can eat them with reassurance.”
A paper posted at the Guangming Daily website on March 14 described, the food “safety” basis of Monsanto’s GM soybean, actually is a few English papers published during 1983 – 1998. The Ministry of Agriculture liketaking an oath devoutlystated “Our side independent examination”, should have been reports on animal test carried out by Chinese institutions, but in-fact was an English paper written in 1996. This report written 7 years before Monsanto submitted its application to China described 6 animal laboratory tests, with the longest only 90 days, the shortest only 28 deays – just playing with the procedures.
The Safety Certificate issued by the Ministry of Agriculture to Monsanto, from procedures to content, is all false. The concerned department and officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, by doing so have committed serious crime of dereliction of duty to the 1.3 billion consumers of China!
中方是否做了獨立的、足以證明對國人“不存在危險”的檢測試驗呢?
Has China carried out independent inspection tests sufficient to prove to the Chinese people that GM soybeans do not “exists with danger”?
Huang Da-fang, committee member of the GMO Safety Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture, researcher, Biotechnology Research Institute, Academy of Agricultural Science of China, attacks Gu Xiu-lin explanation to some of the content of the assessment/approval documents, preach downs them as miss-readings by a non-professionalist. Huang emphasizes, “On GMO products imported into China, we randomly sample checked only a few safety parameters, not all the parameters.”
Total 1.3 billion Chinese consumers, have consumed these GM soybeans for totally eight years, why does the Ministry of Agriculture only randomly sample checked only a few safety parameters? And not only checked a few parameters, but only randomly checked! According to concerned stipulations of the State, there is at least 69 major items for plant property descriptions and safety assessment, does the Ministry of Agriculture lack such technology? Or they lack the necessary funds? Or is there something behind all of thisawkward to disclose?
Please be remember the warning by Yuan Long-ping, the well-known agriculture specialist, “The people are not laboratory test mice, can not risk the health and life of so many people for laboratory test and adventure.” Hope we are not forced to return to an era of relying on vegetables and food grains grown by ourselves, and raising our own chickens and catching our own fishes, and forced to slaughter yaks raised on highlands!
