China has announced it will stop importing seafood from Japan as it begins releasing treated nuclear wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean. Japan's plan will see 500,000 litres of treated wastewater discharged into the Pacific Ocean daily over the next 30 years. China has labelled the move as 'extremely selfish and irresponsible' and said Japan was 'passing an open wound onto the future generations of humanity'. China imports more than $1.4 billion worth of Japanese seafood each year.
