China destroys multiple shipments of GM corn from US


(NaturalNews) Several large shipments of genetically-modified (GM) corn
and corn seeds originating from the U.S. have been destroyed by the
Chinese government after being discovered by import officials at
numerous locations across the country. At least three shipments of GM
corn detected at the Wanzai Port in Zhuhai City near Macau were
reportedly destroyed after being successfully intercepted by government
officials, while another 21 cartons of GM corn seeds weighing more than
250 pounds were destroyed in the northern Chinese city of Harbin.

According
to Chinese law, any import containing GMOs must be accompanied by the
appropriate environmental and food safety tests conducted by Chinese
institutions, not the biotechnology industry. This data is first
submitted to the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture for review, and next
passed on to the National Biosafety Committee for further review. If
said data is eventually deemed adequate and meets strict guidelines, the
corresponding shipment will be issued an appropriate safety certificate
verifying its integrity and permitting its import.

But none of
this was done for any of the GM corn, which had been shipped directly
into China by an unnamed U.S. biotechnology company (the name of which
you can probably guess). This company apparently tried to bypass Chinese
law and sneak its toxic crops and seeds into the country without proper
government oversight, which is technically an international human
rights violation, knowing that these genetic poisons would likely be
rejected if they had to go through the normal import process for GMOs.

"The deeply pro-GMO old government would not have made such a thing public," said a local Chinese
citizen about the new Chinese government's swift action in dealing with
the offending imports. "It would have secretly returned the shipments,
or in most cases it would not even have inspected shipments that could
contain GM ingredients."

China now surpassing US in protecting food supply against genetic contamination

You
know the integrity of the American food supply has reached an all-time
low when even China is rejecting its offerings. The rest of the world
has basically had enough of all this genetic vandalism of food, and yet
America continues to take first place in agricultural stupidity,
propagating deadly genetic poisons as is they were food - food that
virtually nobody else on the planet is willing to eat anymore besides
Americans, by the way.

America had better shape up now and begin
ending the reign of GMO tyranny within its own borders, or else it will
continue to remain the agricultural black sheep, and the embarrassment
of the developed world. GMOs are not safe, they are not beneficial, and
their only purpose economically is to fill the coffers of those running
the industrial agribusiness scam. Worse, GMOs are poisoning humanity on a
monumental scale, to the point where future generations may not even be
able to have children due to GMO-induced sterility.

"[T]he new government's decisive move to destroy the illegal GMOs is 'progressive, encouraging, and satisfying'," adds GMWatch.org,
quoting the words of an insider the site has dubbed Mr. Li. "He regards
it as a sign that [the Chinese government] is keeping its promise to
work for the people and the nation."
