Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President
of China and Chairman of Central Military Commission made important
instructions on food safety work the other day, and emphasized that food safety
is a project for people’s livelihood and
public interests, and the responsibility of each level of party committees and
governments. In recent years, relevant departments have done a lot of work and
gained positive achievements. Currently, the food safety situations in China
are still severe. People earnestly expect more reliable and healthier food. The
year 2016 is the first year of the “13th five-year” plan. We
should firmly establish people-oriented development ideas, insist on Party and
government joint responsibility, resolve the current problems and eliminate the
root causes, strengthen overall coordination, accelerate perfecting uniform and
authorized supervision system and mechanism, implement requirements of the “four-strictest”,
and actually guarantee food safety of people.
