Q: Should China implement a real name system for pesticides?

Anyone else notice how poisoning cases are all over the news here lately? There's the story of the student murdered by his room-mate who put poison in the water dispenser, and now there's the re-opening of the Zhi Ling poisoning case 19 years ago that left her brain-damaged. Many of these cases seem to use readily available pesticides like rat poison to kill the victims. If there's a real-name system for buying knives, then wouldn't it make sense to have one for pesticides too? I'm not saying it would be effective, but given the real-name knife rule, this would be in line with the logic here.  Also, there'd be no harm in controlling the farmers a little more too who over-use chemical growth enhancers and fertilizers.

It wouldn't help. In a society where the majority of the market is the black market, people can source their pesticides from where it is "easiest". The extensive corruption will void any value of such a system, no matter if it is to protect against using pesticides to murder or if it is farmers who use excessive amounts in the chase of profits.

I completely agree with the suggestion in theory, but I think Scandinavian is right. Until there's a greater rule of law in place here, no amount of Real Name regulations will stop awful things like this from happening. 

 

It's a bit different for things like train tickets, which are tightly managed government (right?) operations of a fixed scale. But it would be a nightmare to supervise every little back alley shop that opens up and sells pesticides.

hazardous materials labels would be a good start including the united nations number of the chemical. un number plus 4 digits , but i dont see this on the trucks that carry the material like most countries require.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
