I think China, in the last few years, has approved a few crops (from here, lots of interesting sections).
Maybe that’s why I’m more optimistic, despite the public being against GMOs (In 201846.7% of respondents had negative views of GMOs and14% viewed GMOs as a form of bioterrorism aimed at China), China leadership is still pushing ahead with them as it benefits the country.
Over time the countries that don’t use GMOs will either have to import, give larger subsidies to their farmers, or have people complain about why their food costs so much vs neighbouring countries.
I’m not so sure it has gone ‘badly’ wrong vs other tech innovations but I’m not as well read on tech adoption and the ups and downs of going from innovation to mass usage.
