U.S. Embassy FSIS Biography
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is the public health agency in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) responsible for protecting the public’s health by ensuring the safety of the nation’s commercial supply of meat, poultry, and processed egg products.  FSIS ensures food safety through the authorities of the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act, as well as humane animal handling through the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act.  FSIS also determines if foreign nations’ food safety inspection systems of meat, poultry, and processed egg products are equivalent to that of the United States. The determination of being equivalent grants foreign nations the ability to export products that are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and correctly labeled and packaged to the United States. In addition, FSIS ensures that FSIS-regulated products exported to foreign countries meet those countries’ requirements for all meat, poultry, and processed egg products.
FSIS’ Beijing office provides technical guidance related to the country’s food safety system and represents FSIS on technical issues pertaining to the import and export of meat, poultry and egg products to ensure safe international trade. The FSIS Beijing office collaborates with its foreign counterparts to explain changes or new methods, offering suggestions for effectively implementing programs and improving existing systems.

Cooperation with China on Development 
China is the world’s largest developing country.  In the past decades, China proactively promoted international development and played a constructive role by providing assistance to other developing countries within the framework of South-South cooperation.  In recent years, the scale of China’s foreign assistance kept expanding, and there are many developing countries receiving assistance both from China and the U.S.
In order to facilitate communication and cooperation with Chinese agencies in the host countries as well as in global development agenda, USAID set up Beijing office in 2008.  By working closely with the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) and other Chinese agencies, USAID has conducted joint activities with Chinese counterparts to demonstrate tri-lateral projects in food security, organize study tours and training for Chinese experts outside of China, and co-host dialogues on development at various levels.
During President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the U.S. in September 2015, USAID and MOFCOM signed a Memorandum of Understanding on U.S.-China Development Cooperation and the Establishment of an Exchange and Communication Mechanism, and China and the U.S. agreed on the factsheet of development cooperation, which will guide the joint efforts of both sides in the most challenging areas of global development, including food security, global health, and humanitarian assistance.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has collaborated with the government of China and other partners for the past 30 years addressing public health priorities affecting the U.S., China, and the world. After successful collaborations on preventing birth defects and addressing China’s HIV epidemic, the CDC China office has evolved the focus of its technical assistance towards strengthening global health security. CDC continues to collaborate in several related areas, including training field epidemiologists, monitoring influenza, and addressing tuberculosis. In part through CDC’s decades of technical support, China has improved its ability to prevent, detect and respond to disease outbreaks, and even has been able to begin to provide public health support to other countries.
