With the rapid development of genetic technology, the application of genetically modified crops has brought revolutionary changes to the global agricultural production and agricultural trade patterns, and has played an important role in ensuring human health, environmental safety and sustainable agricultural development. In order to strengthen genetically modified organisms (GMO) safety management, countries around the world have formulated GMO safety management policies adapted to their own national conditions with reference to internationally accepted practices. In this study, we carried out comparative studies among the United States, the European Union, Japan and other developed countries or regions and China from the aspects of regulations and management institutions, safety evaluation systems, and label management, so as to provide references for the improvement of China's GMO safety management policies.
