Chinese food meet the standars

More than 99 percent of China's food exports meet U.S., European Union and Japanese standards, according to a White Paper policy proposal released by the information office of China's cabinet.

In today's White Paper, the government reiterated previously
released figures that 99.2 percent of Chinese food shipments last year to the
U.S. met American standards, according to the report. That compares with the
99.9 percent pass rate for exports to the European Union and 99.4 percent to
Japan, the report said.

To improve the industry's quality, the Chinese government
plans to force small producers to combine into larger, better- financed groups
that can afford to invest in quality and safety standards.
