China, which had been the biggest buyer of Japanese seafood, says its ban is due to food safety fears.
TOKYO: The US has for the first time begun buying Japanese seafood to supply its military there, a response to China’s ban on such products imposed after Tokyo released treated water from its crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.
“It’s going to be a long-term contract between the US armed forces and the fisheries and co-ops here in Japan,” Emanuel said. Emanuel said the purchases – which will feed soldiers in messes and aboard vessels as well as being sold in shops and restaurants on military bases – will increase over time to all types of seafood. The US military had not previously bought local seafood in Japan, he said.
Asked if he considered himself hawkish on China, Emanuel rejected the term and said he was a “realist”. He said China faced major economic challenges exacerbated by a leadership intent on turning their backs on international systems.
