Kimchi in China has a long history and culture. As a typical representative of traditional fermented food, it has experienced thousands of years of development. The curing, storage and processing of this vegetable has become an appetizer on the table of ordinary people. This vegetable processing method not only embodies the traditional food culture in China, but also makes a special contribution to the development of world products and becomes a common food processing method in the eyes of the public.

Kimchi is mainly fermented by lactic acid bacteria, and a large amount of lactic acid is used to inhibit spoilage microorganisms in food. Cabbage is preserved with a little salt. The lactic acid content after fermentation can reach a certain concentration, and the effect of long-term storage can be achieved by isolating air. After the test of time, China has also made food standards that meet international standards. On June 24th, led by China, the international standard for kimchi industry in Meishan City, Sichuan Province was officially produced.

This set of standards can not only further expand the popularity of the kimchi industry in China, but also promote the kimchi economy and make it develop in a better direction. However, the Korean government does not recognize the birth of international standards for kimchi industry. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Products and Food of Korea said that the international standard formulated by China this time does not mean that kimchi from China can become a Korean standard, and this international standard is not applicable to Korea.

In fact, the type of kimchi recognized by the International Organization for Standardization in China this time is the pickling method of Sichuan kimchi in China. World kimchi sees China, and China kimchi sees Sichuan. Sichuan pickles are mainly pickled with radish and cucumber. Traditionally, kimchi is pickled with cabbage. There is no similarity in the preparation method and taste of kimchi between the two countries. Korean netizens also have some opinions on the formulation of this standard. After all, kimchi is a representative food in Korean cuisine, so they are worried that even kimchi will be stolen. With the growing dispute between Chinese and Korean netizens about kimchi, the Korean Ministry of Agriculture explained it to the public.
