Sometimes small victories or positive actions are almost as important as major international ones as they can give a new quality of impulse to many related developments, what physicists call the "butterfly effect." To be more precise, a butterfly effect says that
"a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state," or that small causes may have large effects. That's tied to the reality that every part of our Cosmos is interconnected. Such, I believe, will be the "butterfly effect" of a recent decision by the government of China's northeastern Heilongjiang Province that
can give huge impetus to Russia-China trade and economic development and to events far beyond. It's about building up good natural new structures.
On December 16, 2016, the Provincial Heilongjiang Legislature passed a total ban on the growing of Genetically Modified or GMO crops. The ban goes into effect on May 1, 2017, in some five months. Farmers in China's Heilongjiang province,
one of China's top grain producing regions, will be prohibited from growing GMO crops, according to the provincial regulation just passed. According to the new law, the ban will be on growing of GMO corn, rice and soybeans. Further, illegal production and sales of GMO crops and supply of their seeds will also be prohibited, as will be illegal production, processing, sale and imports of edible GMO farm produce or edible farm products that contain GMO ingredients.
Any GMO food can only be sold in a special zone, clearly indicated in stores as GMO food products, a variation on labelling.
