The world's leading seed companies have successfully controlled some countries through different means. Rice is the most important food crop in China. If large-scale commercial production of genetically modified products, this may mean that the entire country’s control over rice production will be handed over to patent holders. Someone's hand
On March 4, the second day of the opening of the “two sessions†in China, the Zhuhai Inspection and Quarantine Bureau destroyed 2.268 tons of yellow corn powder from the United States. “The batch of yellow corn flour was found to contain genetically modified components at the Jiuzhou Port, which is inconsistent with the declaration and must be destroyed.†A person in charge in Zhuhai said to the “Global Finance†reporter. His tone reveals a kind of anger and excitement that is rarely seen as a technical official.
Chinese officials are angry because he thinks the consequences of this incident will be serious, although this may seem like a small case. The official gave a "bigger" case for this: Brazil has long been banned from planting genetically modified soybeans, but Monsanto, the world's agricultural seed giant, bought Brazilian officials and smuggled genetically modified seeds from Argentina to Brazil to create genetically modified plants. Soybeans are a fait accompli, which puts pressure on the government. "The international food giant thus stole Brazil's food sovereignty." "This incident just happened has once again given a wake-up call to China's food security," he said worriedly.
In China, this issue is also relevant to food sovereignty. According to experts, it is mainly expressed in China's GM rice lines. No one has independent independent intellectual property rights. China is applying for 8 transgenic plants for commercial cultivation and research. Rice strains involved a total of at least 28 foreign patented technologies. Some of these strains are also subject to the international treaty Material Transfer Agreement. The commercialization of any of these means that China's 1.3 billion people will be handed over to the foreign biotech companies such as Bayer and Monsanto.
"Transgenics, behind this questionable technology, is more than just seizing the commercial behavior of the seed market." William Endell, a world-renowned economist and geopolitician, pointed out to Global Finance.
Who is the owner of GM rice in China
Research and development of genetically modified crops often rely on some standardized techniques, methods, and components. The latest survey of Greenpeace and the Third World Network found that some foreign institutions, including many large multinational agrochemical companies, applied for at least nearly 60 patents in these areas. Among them, there are 7 patents on transformation methods, 22 genes for gene isolation and cloning, 6 patents for culture medium, 15 patents for transgenic plant regeneration methods, and 9 patents for basic components.
Among the transgenic rice that is most recently commercialized in China, the Bt transgenic rice developed by Huazhong Agricultural University involves at least 11 to 12 foreign patents; the CpTI transgenic rice developed by the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, involves at least 5 Among the 7 foreign patents, led by the Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the transgenic CpTI/Bt rice that was jointly developed with Ohio State University and Fudan University involved at least 10 to 11 foreign patents.
The survey also found that of the other five GM rice lines being developed in China, each strain involved at least 10 foreign patents, including disease-resistant rice, improved-quality rice, and so-called increased-yield rice. The holders of these foreign patents are some large multinational agrochemical companies such as Bayer and Monsanto.
In addition, some of China's transgenic rice, such as Xa21 (Bacterial Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Blight) and PEPC, which is known to increase production, are also subject to other foreign ownership issues, the Material Transfer Agreement.
At present, some of China's GM rice is jointly developed with foreign institutions. This is usually the case when the target gene, strain or transgenic plant used in the development of the transgenic plant was transferred from a third country to China. For example, the first generation of PEPC transgenic rice was developed by the American University. The first generation of transgenic rice, Xa21, was also born in a laboratory in the United States. The transfer of this genetic element, gene or transgenic plant is then subject to the Material Transfer Agreement. The Material Transfer Agreement stipulates the conditions for migration, including the categories of materials that are allowed to migrate.
