Chapter 898 The Test of Being a Dragon or a Fish
The current situation is that both the GM policy makers and participants are trying their best to conceal their existence. "Fan Wubing said to everyone, "This is very telling. Chinese people like to make a fortune quietly and don't like to be the first to stand out. The interests involved in the GM project are likely to be the largest in history."
The reason for this is that all experts and officials involved in this field know that once the Pandora's box of GM staple food is opened, no matter what kind of devil is released and how much harm it will cause to the nation, people will be helpless and helpless. Even if they go to heaven or hell, they will find it difficult to take it back. They can only be completely passively at its mercy, and even if they are dragged to hell, they cannot resist at all.
First of all, this is determined by interests. Using astronomical amounts of capital to buy biological scientists and related managers is a new economic phenomenon formed in the 1990s in the United States with the rise of the Nasdaq market. Through the capital market, the biological The bribery of scientists and related personnel is no longer hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.
Such astronomical bribery has even aroused the jealousy of Wall Street tycoons, forcing the US Congress to legislate to intervene. The massive bribery of the US Bio-Capital Group is so crazy even in the United States, which is known for its strict rule of law. Once it enters the mainland where the phenomenon of combining power with power is extremely rampant, the combination of power, money and learning will reach a level of unscrupulousness that is beyond anyone's imagination.
"In the 1980s, China commissioned the United States to train a group of agricultural doctors for China for free, a total of 50 people. At that time, people did not pay much attention to this. It was only when the US genetically modified seeds were sown in China today that some people suddenly realized what it meant that there is no free lunch in the world. Unfortunately, it is too late. The 50 agricultural doctors have changed from ugly ducklings to white swans in charge of domestic agricultural departments and agricultural biological research fields." Fan Wubing said with emotion, "In 20 years, a group of highly educated talents are enough to become the top figures in this industry, or at least powerful figures, and the power formed by the combination of 50 people is not to be underestimated. The current GM product Great Leap Forward movement is in full swing, and the backbone of the movement includes those agricultural doctors trained in the United States. According to insiders, all scholars involved in the field of GM, whether in universities or research institutes, who oppose China's promotion of GM products, are excluded from research projects and research funds. Without research projects, there are no research results; without research results, there is no job title; without a job title, researchers are nothing for life. Whether the use of such vicious means to treat those independent and patriotic scholars is determined by their personal qualities or the result of special training in the United States, only they themselves know. "
In fact, many of these people are trying to avoid letting the public know their real living conditions. On the one hand, they don't want the public to know that they and their families will never eat any genetically modified foods. They know better than most people that genetically modified foods are food for the poor and the general public, and only natural foods are food for the elite. They study, publicize and promote genetically modified products, just like farmers grow poisonous leeks, just as a tool to make money, and they will never eat a bite.
On the other hand,
they don't want the public to know whether their relatives and property are in China or abroad, so that they can prepare to retreat in advance like the head of the Civil Aviation Administration who destroyed the Y-10 project.
At the beginning, after arranging his family in the United States, He easily destroyed the large aircraft project and then went to the United States to reunite with his family. His family is still enjoying the beautiful beaches and bright sunshine in Hawaii.
In fact, whether it was destroying the large aircraft project at the beginning or planting genetically modified crops today, the role played was exactly the same, which was to open up a way for American companies to enter the Chinese market.
After destroying the domestic large aircraft project at the beginning, the American McDonnell Douglas Company and later Boeing quickly occupied the Chinese aviation market. Until now, most of the planes flying in the sky are Boeing's passenger planes. Now after planting genetically modified crops, American multinational companies such as Meng Sandu will also quickly occupy China's agricultural market and control China from the food.
"In order to buy their interest representatives in China, it can be said that multinational companies will spare no expense. "Fan Wubing said to everyone, "Now because of the openness, and the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain research funding in China, it is popular to cooperate with foreigners. Since it is cooperation, economic disputes are inevitable. If you don't obey, you won't get the other party's financial assistance. Without financial assistance, there will be no projects. Without projects, there will naturally be no chance to become famous. For professional and technical personnel, if there is no opportunity, how can they make a name for themselves? Many people have struggled all their lives, isn't it just to become famous? Foreign companies and even some domestic private companies see this very clearly, and they immediately grasp the weak points of experts and scholars. First, they show them small favors and benefits, and then slowly lure them. Finally, when they have fallen into their trap and have become accustomed to a luxurious life, they will show their true colors and threaten or coerce the other party to wave flags and shout according to their own intentions, acting as a vanguard for the interests of their group.
Many experts and scholars have more or less influence on government decision-making. Once the number of experts and scholars that an interest group can bribe exceeds a certain limit, it will have the ability to influence the direction of policy, such as It is said to induce the Chinese to take the lead in promoting the cultivation of genetically modified staple foods in the world.
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated?" Zi Qi felt a little cold after hearing what Fan Wubing said. She also had some doubts about the ingredients of the food she usually ate.
"The development of emerging industries represented by biotechnology, information technology and the financial securities industry has formed an increasingly irreconcilable and sharp contradiction with the elite rule of a very small number of people. Either the scientific and technological progress of mankind and the development of emerging industries will be stopped. Either end the elite rule of a very small number of people, and there is no third option." Fan Wubing said casually, "Since the development of human civilization is an unstoppable historical law, the only choice human beings can make is this. End the elite rule of a very small number of people and replace it with a mass democratic system that is compatible with the development of emerging industries. Only on the basis of the mass political system, genetic technology, information technology and financial innovation technology can play a great historical role. Bring human society into a new era.
Fan Wubing also felt this, thinking that he had done so much work, but not all of it might be put to use when the time comes. In the competition for the entire market, it is not just a matter of being righteous or possessing high-end technology that can win. Under the opponent's money offensive, it is inevitable that many people will fall under the opponent's power and wealth and become the vanguard of Western consortiums entering the mainland market.
Originally, the development of biotechnology, information technology and financial innovation technology was the greatest civilizational achievement in human history, especially the development of genetic technology. Its significance is no less than that of the use of fire and machines, and even more significant than the first two. The sum of its meanings is even greater.
Closely related to genetically modified technology, the first human genetic map is almost completed. Its completion can be said to be the greatest day in the history of science and technology. It not only determines life and death, but also determines wealth and wealth in the sky. Ancient views provided scientific evidence and also found a scientific way out of life and death.
Another great significance of genetic technology, including transgenic technology, is that it lays the technical foundation for the harmonious development of man and nature.
Prior to this, the development of human technology was based on the transformation and destruction of nature, at the expense of nature, and in the opposition between man and nature. It was impossible to achieve a two-way relationship between man and nature. exhibition.
The current development of genetically modified technology has made it possible for humans to no longer just passively adapt to nature by changing the environment, but to actively adapt to the natural environment by changing biological genes without changing the natural environment, thereby realizing a harmonious relationship between man and nature. two-way exhibition.
If the machine age was the history of human beings being oppressed and dominated by nature, and the machine age is the history of human beings conquering and dominating nature, then the biological age is the history of human beings and nature no longer in opposition and able to achieve two-way development.
However, genetic technology, like any technology in history, is a double-edged sword. It can not only bring great benefits to mankind, but also bring huge disasters to mankind. And the greater the technological progress, the more it brings to mankind. The disaster becomes even greater.
“Under the current conditions, promoting genetic technology in accordance with the business model of the market economy will inevitably give up and sacrifice human welfare and only pursue commercial interests, turning genetic technology into a tool for private profit-making, and for this purpose, we will not hesitate to put the entire nation and even the entire human race at risk. "Pushing humanity to disaster." Fan Wubing said to everyone with some emotion, "If there is ever a day when government decrees are used to promote the large-scale cultivation of genetically modified foods, it will be a huge test related to the future and destiny of the nation. At this time, At that time, all Chinese people were tied together as a whole, and no one had the possibility of breaking free. It was like a carp jumping over a dragon gate. If it jumps over, it is a dragon, and it is the leader of the entire human race. If it cannot jump, it will be a dragon. The past is a fish and will be a dead fish.
