Technology ensures safety

The old Chinese proverb says, "For a country, people come first. For the people, food comes first".

High-tech grain depots under the direct management of the State Council play a major role in ensuring grain safety, but few people have ever entered one of these facilities.

On a July morning, I got the chance to visit one of China's top modern grain depots in Jilin province, where an almost military security regime exists.
