Abstract

The safety issue of genetically modified (GM) food has been controversial for several decades. China is a major GM food import, production and consumption country which accounts for almost 20% of the world's population. This article analyzes the present situation of China's GM food based on domestic consumer behavior, market behavior and government behavior. A wide range of public polls and markets research were taken to collect data of GM food. The roots of GM food develop and some improvements are also discussed in this study.
