The paper reviews how China’s policy of providing the devel opment of genetic engineering of crops with high priority massive fundin g absolute support was formed. China’s existing legal framework and go vernment management regulations of GMO and its safety. Most importan t developments in R&D, trials, commercialize planting of GM crops and consequences. Sino-American trade conflicts over massive imports of GM products and consequences. A series of serious facts raising great concern about GM food safety in China. Reveals that China’s national st andard does not establish any standard on the glyphosate maximum allo wed residue level of GM soybeans, soy milk and powder, toufu and all other soybean products. Spread of illegal grown unapproved GM rice. T he commercialization of GM Bt-cotton in fact is a failure but how it wa s glorified into a "success"! Suspicious animal abnormality phenomena a nd its possible link with GM suspect corn. Reactions of the concerned departments to such cases. Suspicious widespread trend of deteriorating human reproduction capabilities of young men and women in China. All of this shows that The present GMO safety legal framework is incompl ete, not effective and lack of comprehensive. Reveals how the Ministry of Agriculture resists further regulation restrictions on GM safety. A ge neral conclusion: Providing unconditional massive funding absolute supp ort to the promotion of GM technology is a fatal strategic mistake! Different to most other researchers, the author has crossed into the f ield of studying GMO safety from two other fields, (1) disaster preventi on, and (2) science & technology innovation sociology. From angles of studies in disaster prevention, when studying the issu e of GMO safety, the author focuses on what aspects already cause or have the potential of causing the most serious and widespread disaster s to human health and the environment in China, their reasons, and pos sible preventative measures. From angles of studies in science & technology innovation sociology, when studying the issue of GMO safety, the author focuses on the follo wing questions: Is genetic engineering a science & technology innovatio n? Is it promoting advance in science, or reverse? Is it promoting other science & technology innovation in the concerned fields, or is it suppre ssing other science & technology innovation in the concerned fields? O r, in other words, is it blocking science advancement? The present paper can not cover all these respects, but, for the first time, provides scholars outside China a detailed review of the overall s ituation of genetic engineering, especially the development and commer cialization planting of GM crops, massive volume imports of GM crops, their management, liabilities and consequences showing up in China.
