Summary 
------- 
 
1. (SBU) Feng Guoqin, Chairman of the Shanghai Committee of the 
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), 
defended Shanghai's food safety record during an introductory 
call by the Consul General on September 22, stating that 
inspection teams are working to ensure that dairy products in 
the city are safe.  While acknowledging the negative attention 
generated by the food safety scandal, Feng said he hopes other 
news from China is attracting positive coverage in the United 
States, and, like other municipal leaders, he highlighted the 
Shanghai 2010 World Expo as an opportunity for further 
U.S.-China cooperation.  Delegates at the Shanghai Committee of 
the CPPCC first proposed in 1992 that the city bid to host the 
World Expo, and Feng said the CPPCC will play a greater role as 
a government advisory body on economic, political, cultural, and 
environmental issues in the future.  End Summary. 
 
Shanghai's Concerns Over Food Safety Scandal 
-------------------------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Chinese citizens are concerned about the reports of 
tainted milk, and Shanghainese are "indignant" about food safety 
lapses, Feng told the Consul General on September 22.  Milk 
produced in Shanghai remains safe, Feng insisted, singling out 
Guangming (Bright) Dairy products available in Shanghai stores 
as being free from melamine even though traces have been found 
in the brand elsewhere. 
 
3. (SBU) In response to the Consul General's question about 
testing milk products, Feng stated that the Shanghai Municipal 
Government considers food safety a top priority, and there 
currently are more than 40 inspection teams working in Shanghai 
to ensure all milk available on the shelves is safe.  Feng added 
that he helped Shanghai implement a supply chain tracing system 
for food products that uses bar codes when he was Vice Mayor in 
1998 based on a system he had seen when visiting a U.S. company 
the previous year. 
 
4. (SBU) Feng hopes that, despite current food safety problems, 
Americans will have a more positive view of China.  The 
U.S.-China relationship is at its "best and most stable" point 
in recent history, and he believes the U.S.-China relationship, 
as well as the United States' relationship with Shanghai, will 
improve greatly in the next few years.  The Consul General 
replied that the recent Beijing Olympics contributed to 
Americans' generally positive view of China, while the growing 
number of U.S. students in China shows American interest in the 
country and culture. 
 
Great Expectations for World Expo 
--------------------------------- 
 
5. (SBU) Looking forward to future U.S.-China exchanges, Feng 
echoed the sentiments previously expressed by other municipal 
officials (Ref B), stating his hope that the U.S. Pavilion for 
the Shanghai 2010 World Expo would be a highlight of the Expo. 
The relationship between the Shanghai and American business 
communities is extremely close, with combined investments in the 
 
SHANGHAI 00000412  002 OF 002 
 
 
tens of billions of dollars, Feng said, and commercial 
relationships will have grown stronger by 2010.  Feng said 
Chinese visa issue restrictions would not limit U.S. involvement 
in the Expo as they constrained attendance at the Beijing 
Olympics, stating that the six-month length of the Expo, 
security advances made by 2010, and the differences between 
Shanghai and Beijing all would make foreign participation easier. 
 
6. (SBU) Feng claimed that the Shanghai Committee of the CPPCC 
was instrumental in bringing the World Expo to Shanghai, first 
proposing in 1992 that the city host the Expo.  He claimed that 
Shanghai CPPCC members also were the first to float proposals 
for the Pudong New Area (in 1981, nine years before it was 
launched) and Shanghai's Yangshan Deep Water Seaport.  The high 
education level of CPPCC members leads to high quality 
proposals, Feng said. 
 
CPPCC on Economy, Politics, Culture, and Environment 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
 
7. (SBU) Proposals from the national CPPCC, as well as from the 
Shanghai CPPCC, cover the waterfront of issues that are 
important to the Communist Party of China (CPC), Feng said.  He 
stated that the CPPCC will become more important in the future 
because of the Central Government's focus on Hu Jintao's 
Scientific Development Concept and the balance between economic, 
political, cultural, and environmental problems.  The Shanghai 
Consular Corps can expect a CPPCC briefing on its expanding role 
before year's end.  The Shanghai CPPCC serves as a "big 
thinktank" to the Municipal Government, Feng said, and its 809 
members submitted 854 proposals, some of which were "forward 
thinking and visionary" during the "Two Meetings" (Lianghui) in 
January 2008.
