Japan’s prime minister says China’s blanket ban on Japanese seafood in reaction to the release of treated radioactive water from a tsunami-ravaged nuclear power plant contrasts starkly with broad understanding shown by many other members of the international community.
Japan's Prime Minster Fumio Kishida attends the East Asia Summit at the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations Summit in Jakarta, Indonesia, Thursday, Sept. 7, 2023. – Japan’s prime minister said that China’s blanket ban on Japanese seafood in reaction to the release of treated radioactive water from a tsunami-ravaged nuclear power plant contrasts starkly with broad understanding shown by many other members of the international community.
He said Japan has broadly gained understanding from the international community, and that in sharp contrast, China's blanket ban on Japanese seafood “stuck out.” Kishida said he reiterated Japan’s scientific handling of the Fukushima Daiichi treated water release, stressing the importance of a scientific approach and release of accurate information.Chinese authorities, as they imposed the seafood ban, said they would “dynamically adjust relevant regulatory measures as appropriate to prevent the risks of nuclear-contaminated water discharge to the health and food safety of our country.
“I just view it as another way of the communist party of China putting the falsity out there, trying to divide, and it’s just an unfair position that they have and a false position that they have from the rest of the world’s stance,” said McCarthy, criticizing China’s ban on Japanese seafood. The U.S. Embassy is also working with Japan's government to find new export destinations in the United States, as well as other countries for scallop processing that Japanese exporters used to conduct in China.
