China abolished the ban on marine food from most regions of Japan, partially by fixing a long-term spore around Tokyo, which is handling nuclear wastewater.
China and Japan are key trading partners, but increased friction over territorial conflict and military spending in recent years.
Japan’s brutal occupation of parts of China before and during the Second World War remain a painful point, and Beijing accuses Tokyo that she did not arrive on the past.
Japan began to gradually release treated wastewater from the Fukushima Nuclear Paceration Stripe in the Pacific Ocean in 2023. years.
This move was supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the TEPCO plant says that all radioactive elements are filtered except for the tritium, which are levels in safe limits.
But he drew sharp criticism from Beijing, which banned the import of Japanese seawood. Russia later followed the suit.
Samples from long-term monitoring of nuclear contaminated water from Fukušima “did not show irregularities,” in the statement, the general application of the customs statement said.
As a result, China “decided to continue” the import of seafood from Japan, except for imports from 10 prefectures in the country, including Fukushima and Tokyo, which remained forbidden.
The Japanese government received the decision “positive”, Kazuhiko Aoki, Deputy Chief of the Secretary of the Cabinet, told reporters in Tokyo.
But Japan will “strongly demand the Chinese side of the remaining import regulation on 10 prefecture foods,” he added.
The Japanese Minister of Agriculture Shinjiro Koizumi also called the Chinese move “main turning point”.
In 2011. year, a huge earthquake was launched by deadly tsunami that overwhelmed the nuclear facility Fukushimi and pushed three of six reactors in melting.
China opposed the release of treated wastewater loudly, throwing it as environmentally irresponsible. But in September last year it was said that “gradually continue” to import sea food.
Production companies that have suspended trade must apply for registration in China and will “strictly” oversee, on Sunday he told Beijing’s customs.
