China To ‘Gradually’ Resume Imports of Japanese Seafood
Published On Sep 20, 2024, 7:53 AM
China has decided to gradually resume seafood imports from Japan after a year-long ban prompted by Japan's release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant. This change comes after an agreement between the two countries to expand monitoring of the water, addressing safety concerns. Japan insists that the treated water meets international safety standards and is safe for human consumption, though China continues to express concerns about contamination. The agreement includes guidelines from the International Atomic Energy Agency and involves experts from various countries, including China.
