Lang Xianping was boycotted by hundreds of experts

In the middle of last month, a TV station in Guangdong "Lanyan Finance" broadcast a program about genetic modification "vigilance!" Genetically modified! The program, by renowned economist Lang Xianping and senior media person Shi Shusi, made some comments on the phenomenon of genetic modification. The main viewpoints are "genetically modified foods cause cancer," and "China's consumption of genetically modified soybean oil is the area where tumors are concentrated." . In the following week, Lang Xianping made a follow-up report on the topic entitled "Genetic Food, Do You Dare to Eat?" in another section of the financial section.

Once the column of Lang Xianping was broadcast, it triggered a huge controversy in the academic circle. Recently, a biological sciences website published an open letter to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television regarding Lang Xianping's "Genetic Damage Hazard Theory," saying that Lang Xianping's related remarks were allegedly misrepresentation. "Scientific issues continue to mislead the public and spread rumors" and "produce in society. He had extremely bad influence," and was suspected of slanders, misinterpretations, and attacks on scholars such as Chen Junshi.

It is understood that this open letter has now received joint support from 760 academicians, professors, and academics, including Liu Xu, the deputy head of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, He Jun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Fan Yunliu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. "This is not a question of scientific literacy, but of academic morality. His academic reputation (Lang Xianping) went bankrupt." Fang Zhouzi, an academic, said.
