Former CCTV's famous mouth Cui Yongyuan has recently been on the bars with the Chinese agricultural and rural ministry.
The Ministry of Agriculture said on August 24 about genetically modified questions. When answering genetically modified questions, reporters said that genetically modified foods can cause cancer and cause infertility to be rumors. "Approved genetically modified products are safe."
In less than a week, Cui Yongyuan posted two videos on Monday (August 28) and Thursday (August 31) to refute the saying of the Ministry of Agriculture.
What did the video say?
In the video published on Thursday, Cui Yongyuan first commented on the Asian Organizing Committee's response to the "Hangzhou Asian Games rejected genetically modified food".
According to the Agricultural Daily (August 29) reported, the Asian Organizing Committee said that "has not released information that does not provide genetically modified foods, nor does it mention any requirements for genetically modified genetic transgene in food confession."
But in the view of Cui Yongyuan, the Asian Organizing Committee only said that "no requirement for genetically modified genetically modified", but not responding to the Hangzhou Asian Games with the use of genetically modified food, which is to care about him.
In addition, Cui Yongyuan also listed the 18 academic papers about transgenic video pathogens in the video.He specifically mentioned that a papers in 2022 of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine stated that serious adverse incidents of eating genetically modified food include death, tumor or cancer, obvious low fertility rate, study and response ability, and some organ abnormalities.
Cui Yongyuan also said that although the Ministry of Agriculture was harmless to the public science to the public, the Kindergarten of the Ministry of Agriculture used non -transit oil as early as the late 1990s;For rice and special supply bases.
Cui Yongyuan's emotion: "They (the Ministry of Agriculture) takes care of themselves very well. They have their own special bases in Turpan, and they eat organic foods ... But they are not properly used by Chinese people.So angry. "
In the video on August 28, Cui Yongyuan also expressed his anger to the Ministry of Agriculture: "The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural China is the largest, compiled, collective, collective -based unit that I see from the age of 60.Liar unit. "
He also said that the European Union has repeatedly returned to China's genetically modified rice products, and genetically modified rice has not been approved by commercial planting in China.
Ten years of "Reversers"
Cui Yongyuan joined CCTV in the 1990s, and has hosted the truth about the truth about the truth about the truth about the truth about the Eastern Time and Space.
In addition, Cui Yongyuan has also been two members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference since 2008, and served as a professor of Communication University of China in 2013.
In the same year, Cui Yongyuan went to the United States and shot a documentary about genetically modified food.The documentary focuses on whether the genetically modified food is safe, whether the Americans have eaten at ease for nearly 20 years of genetically modified food, etc., and visited dozens of experts and scholars and people. Finally, many Americans do not understand genetically modified foods, genetically modified foods.Security is also controversial in the American academic community.
After the 68 -minute documentary was broadcast, it caused public opinion.Because Cui Yongyuan himself is a well -known "reverse (gene) fighter", the documentary position is also considered to have biased bias.
The counterfeiter Fang Zhouzi has publicly questioned the content and purpose of the documentary filmed by Cui Yongyuan. The two also argued whether the genetically modified food could be eaten and the book was in charge.In the "2014 Top Ten Science and Technology Rumors" in the popular science website, the documentary is also the top of "correlation does not represent causality".
Cui Yongyuan also launched a fierce debate with Lu Duru, a professor of the Institute of Genetics of the School of Life Sciences at the School of Life Sciences in 2013.
When talking about "Golden Rice" of genetically modified rice varieties, Lu Duru believes that it should be focused on ethics and procedures, not the scientificity of golden rice.What about the scientific problem of rice? "
Cui Yongyuan did not answer this question, but asked Lu Doru that Golden Rice turned into several genes.Lu Duru said that Golden Rice is still constantly improving, but it does not quickly give a clear figure.Cui Yongyuan then questioned: "I don't even know a few genes, just say it is safe?"
Since publishing current affairs review videos on YouTube in March this year, Cui Yongyuan's multiple videos are related to genetically modified and the Ministry of Agriculture.
From Pukutang to "Cui Yongyuan X" "Reverse", Cui Yongyuan also started a commercial attempt for non -genetically.In November 2016, Cui Yongyuan announced at the Chinese Retail Conference to enter the retail industry to provide 30,000 members with non -genetically.
"Lugu Tang Mall" went online a few months later.However, according to the Beijing Youth Daily, 36 kinds of products on the shelves of Lugangtang are generally higher than the market price, and a scattered chicken sells for 300 yuan (RMB, the same below, S $ 55.8).Yuan.
Puogutang adopts a member system, and the goods are only sold to members, and the entry fee is as high as 5,000 yuan.Based on 30,000 members, the income of the conference fee can reach 150 million yuan.
However, Cui Yongyuan issued a statement in July 2017, saying that he had offended the huge interest group and retaliated, withdrawing from all shares and positions of Lugutang.The official website of Pugu Tang has been unable to open it, and the last Weibo stays in January 2018.
Although the operation time did not operate for a long time, Cui Yongyuan fell into public opinion besiege.Both Xinhuanet and the People's Daily Online have reprinted reports from the Beijing Youth Daily. Netizens commented that Cui Yongyuan's transfer to businessmen was "collecting Cui Fan IQ tax".
<<<After the sugar, Cui Yongyuan launched the "Cui Yongyuan True X" series in 2019, including "Cui Yongyuan True Beef" who sells beef and "Cui Yongyuan True Tea" who sells tea."Cui Yongyuan's true selection store" is still operating. In addition to selling rice, vegetables, edible oil, etc., you can also buy Cui Yongyuan's calligraphy and painting works.
The future of China GM?
Although Cui Yongyuan's business attempt is criticized, this does not mean that the Chinese public stands on the side of supporting genetically modified genes.
A survey published in 2018 in the Nature Cooperative Food Sciences (Science of Food) and consumers in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities found that only 11.9%of the respondents positively held positive views on genetically modified food.Another survey published in the same journal in 2019 found that about 60%of the respondents did not know that they consumed or purchased products with genetically modified products or containing genetically modified ingredients.
Although the public does not understand the genetically modified, China has approved the planting transgenic crops in the 1990s.An article reproduced in the Institute of the Asian Tropical Agricultural Ecology Research Institute in 2012 in 2012 that in 1992, China became the first country in the world to commercialize genetically modified tobacco and created the precedent of commercialization of genetically modified crops. However, due to foreign tobacco companiesStrong opposition and not persisted.
World of the International Agricultural Biotechnology Application Service (ISAAA) official website data show that as of 2019, 29 countries around the world have planted genetically modified crops.Among them, the United States is the largest genetically modified crop producer, and the planting area accounts for 37.6%of global genetically modified crops.78%of the world's soybeans, 76%cotton, and 30%of corn are genetically modified products.
In China, only cotton and papaya that approved commercialized planting are cotton and papaya, and the imported imports are soy, corn, cotton, rapeseed, beet, and papaya.
For the logo of genetically modified products, the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture states that genetically modified foods sold in the Chinese market, such as genetically modified soybean oil, rapeseed oil, are required to marked the words "processing raw materials are genetically modified soybeans/rapeseeds". Consumers canChoose freely according to your own wishes.Edible vegetable oils without genetically modified products must not be marked with "non -genetically modified".
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China released documents No. 1 in February this year. For the first time, it clearly proposed to accelerate the pace of industrialization of corn and soybean biochemical breeding, and use "biological breeding" to replace the "genetically modified" before 2017.
In the same month, the Ministry of Agriculture distributed the planting area of about 4 million acres of genetically modified corn and was selected in the four provinces.Economists reported that although the seeding area is not 1%of the planting area specified in corn this year, it still means that China rarely relaxes strict control over genetically modified crops.
However, the reporter's report also mentioned that although the official management and control are strict, a survey by reporters and non -governmental organizations show that a large part of the corn produced in China also comes from illegally sowing genetically modified seeds.
China's "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" outline takes food security as an important foundation for national security. In the context of continuous improvement of grain security strategy, genetically modified crops provide a convenient option to feed Chinese people with Chinese food.
But is this the only way for agricultural technology or the "Pandora Box"?In addition to the endorsement of genetically modified crops in the Ministry of Agriculture, the society may also need to come out from time to time from time to time as "reversal fighters" like Cui Yongyuan, so that the public can hear different voices.Make a choice when choosing.
