According to the Xinhua News Agency recently reported that according to the results of the National Agriculture Genetically Modified Organism Safety Committee, the Ministry of Agriculture recently approved the issuance of three kinds of genetically modified soybeans that can be used as processing materials for import safety certificates. In addition, according to the "First Financial Daily" report recently, despite the higher income from the planting of genetically modified soybeans, China has not liberalized the planting of genetically modified soybeans.

["Diversification of species not allowed to eat" relates to species ecology and environmental protection.] According to statistics, as the world's largest soybean importer, China imports a large amount of soybeans from Argentina and Brazil each year; on the other hand, domestic farmers have abandoned soybeans on a large scale, and domestic soybeans have been planted. The area has been decreasing year after year.
“Farmers are not abandoned because of the imported GM soybeans. It is precisely because the domestic market can't meet the demand that leads to an increase in imported soybeans,†said Zhu Yi, an associate professor of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University.
An industry analyst who did not wish to be identified analyzed that China's ban on GM soybean cultivation is mainly due to two considerations: First, there are no definitive conclusions about the safety of genetically modified plants; second, GM crop cultivation involves species. Ecological environment protection.
“As with traditional crops, GM crops can also be crossed with crops or plants growing near it, and as a result, when it blooms and flourizes, it may cause domestic soybeans to gradually fail to adapt to the growing environment.†said industry insiders said . According to the First Financial Daily
[Rational viewing of genetically modified crops] Whether it is opposition or support, the discussion and decision-making around genetically modified crops should be conducted with a rational and cautious attitude.
To treat GM crops, we must first take a rational attitude. Although the questioning and opposition to the crops such as genetically modified corn, soybeans, and cotton are currently on the global scale, in fact, as an important means of increasing agricultural production in the world, “transgenicization†has become the general trend of agricultural development in the world. Even the European Union, which previously strongly opposed GM crops, has already approved the planting of many GM crops. In addition, studies by authoritative agencies have also revealed that no genetically modified foods from genetically modified crops have been found to be harmful to human life.
According to data released by the United Nations in 2011, 82% of cotton and 75% of soybeans in the world market have been genetically modified. It can be seen that GM crops have already entered the daily life of the global public. Moreover, because of their high resistance to insect pests and high yields, transgenic crops also provide people with benefits such as increased yields and income, conservation of cultivated land, and protection of the environment. Completely negating GM crops is clearly untenable.
But at the same time, it should not be overlooked that GM crops are after all products of mankind's use of science and technology to transform nature. Although its negative impact on human health and natural environment has not yet been confirmed, it does not mean that these potential effects will not become a reality in the future. From this perspective, policy-making departments should be cautious when promoting GM crops, and they must take careful measures to prevent irreversible serious impacts in the future.
On this issue, some developed countries can learn from it. For example, according to the US legislation, each GM food is subject to review by at least three departments before being marketed. The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the management of GM crop development and field trials. The EPA is responsible for assessing the environmental impact of genetically modified plants. The FDA is responsible for genetically modified foods. And feed safety assessment. The listing of genetically modified foods must comply with traditional food hygiene standards. It takes several years for any kind of genetically modified food to be marketed, and it costs 10 million to 15 million US dollars to collect the data needed to complete the approval.
It should be noted that the promotion of genetically modified crops has always been accompanied by controversies, but it is also these controversies that have provided a steady stream of momentum to strengthen research on the safety of genetically modified crops and improve related regulatory mechanisms. The GM crops are not perfect, and human beings should not treat and treat them with scientific attitudes because they are not allowed to use food. According to Xinhua News Agency
[Let consumers know what is genetically modified] Dr. Liu Peicing, vice president of the School of Pharmacy, Sun Yat-sen University, pointed out that at present, genetically modified foods on the Chinese market are basically unlabeled. Some experts suggest that domestic companies should require foreign parties to declare and label genetically modified foods when they import foods. “Let the public have the freedom to choose whether or not to purchase genetically modified foodsâ€.
In addition to blind spots in management, laws and regulations also have certain loopholes in protecting consumers' right to know. Prof. Yu Wenxuan of the Institute of Environmental Law of the China University of Political Science and Law said that according to the Measures for the Administration of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms promulgated by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2002, mandatory signs were applied to the three types of products. These three types of products are: transgenic animals, plants, and microorganisms; direct processed products of transgenic agricultural products (6.71, -0.14, -2.04%); manufactured using agricultural genetically modified organisms or products containing agricultural genetically modified organism components, but ultimately sold. Products that no longer contain or detect GM ingredients in the product.
However, the “Measures†did not specify what “direct processed goods†were; at the same time, there was no requirement for “indirect processed products†to be marked, which may provide potential sales channels for deep-processed transgenic agricultural products. Some companies are also reluctant to label according to regulations for reasons such as reducing costs and worrying about logos affecting sales.
In addition, due to the fact that the state did not issue punitive supervision measures at the same time as enacting the laws and regulations, and did not have a corresponding law enforcement team, the relevant laws and regulations are in fact unable to be implemented. According to the Xiaoxiang Morning News
[Genetic future may become more or less recognized] Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that genetically modified varieties will bring benefits to farmers in terms of reducing human production costs and reducing losses. May gradually be recognized. However, the key issue is that we must control and manage risks well.
In addition, Li Guoxiang also believes that domestically produced soybeans are completely different from imported genetically modified soybeans. Domestically produced soybeans are mainly used as soy products, and imported soybeans are mainly used for oil extraction. Therefore, the two markets are completely inconsistent and there is no mutual impact between the two. The reason why domestic soybeans have shrunk and are facing a decline is mainly due to the poor efficiency of our soybeans and the reluctance of farmers to grow them, rather than the increase in imports. Our increase in imports is mainly due to the increase in consumption.
Slip-On flanges or SO flanges are commonly lower in price than weld-neck flanges, and to this effect are a popular choice for our customers. It is welded both inside and out to provide suffcient strength and prevent leakage. Slip-On Pipe Flanges. As made obvious by their name, these pipe flanges slip over the pipe. They're manufactured with an inside diameter that is slightly bigger than the pipe's outside diameter. These attachments are connected to the pipe via fillet weld at the top and bottom of the flange.
