China May Restrict Genetically Engineered Rice 183
An anonymous reader writes "China's State Council has released a proposal for a grain law that establishes legislation restricting research, field trials, production, sale, import and export of genetically engineered grain seeds, the first initiative in the world that deals with GE food legislation at state law level. Monsanto had tried and failed to commercialize GE wheat in Canada. Now they were hoping China would become the first guinea pig, opening the gate to genetic experiments with staple crops."

Huh. And what about Ford and Chrysler crops?
Of course, I'm sure Toyota, Honda, and the other Japanese companies did it waaaay before the Americans and with better fuel economy to boot!
I understand that BMW has some "ultimate" growing crop in the making.
