Re: The Chinese refuse to pay royalties to Monsanto et al. The question goes the other way, I'm afraid: 28.01.2002 China leads GM revolution Government funding puts Chinese plant biotechnology second only to US While westerners vacillate about the risks and benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops, China is embracing the technology. A new survey shows that the Chinese are working on more plant biotechnology products than anyone outside North America. Chinese research institutes claim to have developed 141 GM plants, 65 of which have been approved for release into the environment. Scott Rozelle, an agricultural economist at the University of California, Davis carried out the survey. China's GM success challenges the concern that developing countries, which stand to benefit most from such crops, cannot afford technologies produced in the West. [...] If China's GM crops do fill the food gap, their other GM innovations could end up being exported, suspects Rozelle.
