Li said recent Japanese reports claimed that Chinese-made boilers contained excessive lead. However, tests done by three Japanese inspection organizations showed that the lead contained in Chinese boilers was only about half of that in Japanese ones.
Li continued to say that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to quality control of products, especially food products and have worked hard to ensure food safety.
He said the record shows that between 2004 and 2006, 99 or more than 99 percent of Chinese exports to the U.S. were up to the quality standard, which is the same or even better than the U.S. exports to China, and Chinese exports to Japan and the European Union enjoyed even higher record.
"It''s unreasonable to think that Chinese products have become unsafe overnight, as China has been importing goods to the U.S. and other countries for quite a long time," said Li.
However, he also acknowledged that there were problems in the country''s food safety, and some enterprises, small ones in particular, were found to have used food additives or non-food materials.
Food safety problems actually exist in many countries, and we need more cooperation from other countries to improve the food safety, Li said.
