When it comes to the subject of GM foods, the public have a lot to say.
"As consumers, we can't tell the differences between GMO and non-GMO. Some food we eat daily must contain GMO. Many say that cherry tomatoes and purple sweet potatoes have both been genetically modified. Now no one has stepped forward to say what is GMO."
"I don't really know about GMO. Some say it is good and others say otherwise. Maybe I have mistakenly eaten some GM food. I'm not sure."
To address the public concern, Chen Xiwen, a political advisor and director of the central agricultural work leading team office, says China has been strengthening the research and supervision of technologies of GM food, and promoting them carefully on the basis of security.
