The Chinese government will deal with any confirmed food safety cases in a responsible manner and in accordance with laws, a parliament spokesman said in Beijing on Tuesday.
"There are indeed very few companies in China which neglect our country's laws, regulations and standards, dodge quarantine and tests, and have their unqualified products smuggled into foreign markets via illegal channels," said Jiang Enzhu, spokesman for the First Session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC), at a press conference.
Our government will intensify its efforts to crack down on such illegal activities and prevent any under-quality food from being exported.

The Chinese news agency Xinhua says the People's Daily newspaper have both carried reports suggesting that the addition of industrial chemical melamine to animal feed in China is an open secret. Quentin Sommerville reports from Beijing.
Animal feed in China is routinely contaminated with industrial chemical melamine, according to the country's state media. Chemical firms have been repackaging scrapped melamine as protein powder and selling at home. When added to the feed, it gives the illusion of boosting nutritional levels. China's melamine scandal began in the dairy industry, 4 babies died and 20 thousand children were hospitalised after the chemical was added to milk. This week, the authorities in Hong Kong discovered melamine in 4 brands of Chinese produced eggs. It's believed they have got there because of contaminated animal feed.

Only 12 tons of oranges were destroyed and less than 10 percent of the trees were damaged by fruit flies in Guangyuan, Sichuan province, the provincial agriculture department said on Tuesday.
It was discounting reports that 10,000 tons of oranges had to be destroyed.
The news caused concern among some consumers in Chongqing and Taiyuan, Shanxi province.
Both cities import oranges from Sichuan.
The report of fruit flies can do serious damage," Mou Jinyi, chief agronomist of the agriculture department, said at a press conference in Chengdu.
He said fruit flies of the tetradacu species had been discovered in 11 towns in Wangcang, a county under the administration of Guangyuan.
The agriculture department said only 68,000 trees, accounting for 8.9 per cent of the county's total, had been infected and the situation was now under control.
Postings on the Internet said the sudden appearance of tetradacu flies in Wangcang was due to climate change.
"The flies are not a new pest, and it exists in many provinces. They only do harm to orange trees and not humans," Wan Fanghao, chief scientist at the Biological Invasion Research Office, said.
Wangcang is not very suitable for orange growth, and the county government had been pressing farmers to plant tea instead.
In Chengdu, consumers remained calm.

热点29：父母私拆信件
某英语杂志Talking It Over栏目刊登了这样一封信：
Dear Maggie,
I am a high school student. I think I am old enough to deal with my own things such as making friends. But my parents don’t trust me and often read my diaries or letters from my friends without my permission. I just can’t understand them and I need your advice.
Yours,
Laura
假设你是该栏目主持人Maggie, 请你给Laura 回封信，信中要点必须包括：Laura父母私拆信件的理由；你给Laura的具体建议。
Dear Laura,
I have to say that there must be some reasons for your parents’ behavior although it seems inappropriate.
To start with, your parents want to know what you are doing for fear that you may get into any bad habit. Secondly, they are afraid that you may fall behind in your studies if you spend too much time on other things. Finally, your little communication with them may lead to their worries.
My advice is as follows：spare some time to have a talk with your parents, so that they have chances to know what you are thinking; tell your parents about your friends, your school life; invite your friends to your home to show that they are worth making friends with; help your parents with things you can do and they will realize you are old enough to be independent of them.
Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Maggie
热点30：改革开放30年
After more than two decades of headlong rush to transform China from an autarkic centrally planned economy into a limited open-market economy，Hu is now leading a nation in the midst of fateful debates about the most effective and balanced route toward a modern harmonious socialist society. Autarky has never been voluntary Chinese policy under socialism but rather an externally imposed sanction of the Cold War.
China's shift toward market economy in the past two and a half decades was not taken in isolation from world trends. When Deng Xiaoping introduced the "open/reform" policies in 1979, toward the end of the Cold War, it was a rational response to a world infatuated with the extravagant promises of neo-liberal free trade. A quarter of a century later，while such open/reform policies have achieved spectacular results in bringing China forward into a modern interdependent world, the glaring resultant imbalances，such as excessive dependence on exports, worsening income disparity，regional development gaps, rampant official corruption，serious environmental crisis and near-total collapse of the social-service network and safety net，are raising calls for rethinking the wisdom of falling for the empty promises of neo-liberal globalization.
There is no disagreement among the youth who are destined to shoulder the continuing task of national reconstruction toward economic prosperity and cultural renaissance on the need for further opening/reform. The dispute is on the correct definition and path of opening/reform： open to neo-colonialism and reform toward social inequality and moral decay，or open to assuming a legitimate place as a strong and peaceful nation in a world order of free sovereign nations of equality and reform toward creative and scientific socialist construction based on equality，justice and freedom for all.
With the development of economy, more and more greenhouse gases are being discharged into the air. CO2 makes up about 70% of the greenhouse gases, which is considered to be one of the greatest causes of global warming. It has harmful effects, causing the sea level to rise and many natural disasters to strike.
So we must take effective measures to save our planet. First, we should use more clean energy and less coal and oil. Second, we should go to work on foot or by bus instead of driving a car if possible. Third, we should plant more trees, because plants can turn CO2 into oxygen. More importantly, we should form the habit of saving energy in our daily life.
Over the past 30 years， China has been firmly pressing ahead with the implementation of the reform program and the initiative of opening up to the outside world. With the establishment of a preliminary socialist market economy， and the nation‘s economy attaining an outward-oriented perspective, the productive forces and the comprehensive national competence have been on the rising curve constantly. And various social undertakings have been developing in full swing. The living standard of the Chinese people as a whole has undergone a historical leap from a subsistence level to the level of moderate prosperity.
In the 30 years between 1978 and 2003， the annual growth rate of China's economy was running at an average of 9.4 percent，with its GDP jumping from 147.3 billion US dollars to over 1.4 trillion US dollars.
30 years ago，China‘s foreign trade value and foreign exchange reserves each stood at 20.6 billion and 167 million in US dollars，but last year they shot up to 851.2 billion US dollars and 403.3 billion US dollars respectively.
China has now become the sixth largest economy and the fourth largest trader in the world.
The tremendous changes in China are attributed to the fact that we have adhered to the path of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and persevered in our reform and opening endeavors，which brought into full play the Chinese people's initiative, enthusiasm and creativeness.
Though China has scored impressive achievements in its development, we must not lose sight of our problems：overpopulation，a weak economic foundation, underdeveloped productivity，highly uneven development，and the fairly sharp contradictions between the country's ecological environment and natural resources on the one hand and its economic and social development on the other.
China's per capita GDP，though reaching the record high of 1，000 US dollars last year, still ranks well behind the 100th place in the world. To realize China's modernization program and offer all the Chinese people a prosperous life there is yet an uphill battle to fight.
We have already set our vision for the first 20 years of this century, which involves the building of a moderately prosperous society of a higher standard in an all-round way for the benefit of well over one billion Chinese people. By 2020 the GDP will be quadrupled from the figure of 2000 to 4 trillion US dollars，with the per capita level averaging at 3，000 US dollars. By then the nation will be immersed in an ambience of greater social harmony with an improved quality of life for the people，featuring a more developed economy，more sound democracy，more thriving culture and more advanced science and education.
