[China] China remains adamant that the treated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is “nuclearly contaminated water” and is refusing to lift the ban on seafood imports.
China, which calls the treated water from Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant “nuclearly contaminated water,” has maintained its hard-line stance in criticizing Japan’s response, saying, “It is extremely irresponsible to shift the risk to the entire world” (Mao Ning, Deputy Director of the Information Department of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs). They are also refusing to agree to Japan’s request to lift the suspension of imports of Japanese seafood products. At a press conference on the 23rd, Mao criticized Japan, saying, “Japan’s discharge of nuclear-contaminated water without sufficient consultation with neighboring countries is a violation of international law and morality with neighboring countries.” Regarding the import suspension measures, he reiterated that it is legal and reasonable for countries, including China, to take appropriate preventive measures to protect food safety and public health. On the other hand, he also emphasized that “the more transparent and open Japan’s response to the treated water issue is, the more it will help ease the concerns of the international community.” The group repeatedly called on Japan to seriously respond to domestic and international concerns and establish an “independent, long-term international monitoring system” for the treated water, involving relevant countries, including neighboring countries.

We, China, Korea, and Russia, have been doing a ton of fishing off the coast of Fukushima. Well, you probably don’t have the money to pay anymore, so go back to your Mao suits and bicycles.
>>6 Chinese fishing boats continue to operate even after large-scale release of treated water off the coast of Sanriku Nikkei survey at odds with embargo measures August 17, 2024.
We don’t need China anymore, so we should just keep suspending imports forever 😁 Successfully break away from dependence on China for scallops. Moves to review plans for other seafood products as well, with “Thanks to China, we are painfully aware of the risks of dependence on China” [323057825].
If that’s the case, then why are Chinese fishing boats operating illegally in Japanese territorial waters? If Japanese fishing boats catch them, they’re harmful, but if Chinese fishing boats catch them, they’re harmless? What an idiot.
The world economy where only China makes things and other countries buy them is wrong. We need to increase the number of things that are not made in China.
There’s no need to lift it. It’s just a pose. They buy a lot of Japanese products via third countries. They know better than anyone that products produced in their own country are dangerous and inedible.
