China May Restrict Genetically Engineered Rice
An anonymous reader writes "China's State Council has released a proposal for a grain law that establishes legislation restricting research, field trials, production, sale, import and export of genetically engineered grain seeds, the first initiative in the world that deals with GE food legislation at state law level. Monsanto had tried and failed to commercialize GE wheat in Canada. Now they were hoping China would become the first guinea pig, opening the gate to genetic experiments with staple crops."
1. It's bad because it's bad. That's not a "way" that's a restatement of the assertion. If you have a reason in mind, state it.
2. Absolutely. We must do everything in our power to make sure that the environment isn't contaminated with... genes. Did you know that genes have become so prevalent that some have even been found within the human body?
3. I am immune from this as all of my hats are made from 93% tin.
And they are closing their doors on vitamin fortified rice, and closing their doors on a substantial tool to feed their people. All for nothing but alarmist responses and irresponsible reporting by people who have no clue what they are talking about.
Yes, because it it's one thing China is known for, it's protecting IP~
You're just making up motivation to fit into your pet ideas.

Liar.
