GM China.

The EU needs to adopt a more positive attitude on genetically modified (GM) food because its views affect policies in countries like China where GM crops are needed to feed the people. At least this is what Yang Huanming, director of Reijing Genomics Institute told delegates at the ESOF meeting: 'The attitudes of the Chinese policymakers are deeply influenced by your views and I appeal to you to reconsider your stance so that modern agricultural technologies can benefit more people in the developing countries,' he said. Yang's remarks were made just days after the Chinese government approved a huge GM project to improve plants' nutrition and tolerance to drought and floods.
