China bans some Japanese food imports over Fukushima water release
China’s customs authority has announced a ban on food imports from 10 Japanese prefectures due to concerns over Japan’s plan to release treated nuclear wastewater into the ocean. China argues that Japan has unresolved issues regarding the legitimacy of ocean dumping and the reliability of purification equipment.
The plan, approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency, has faced opposition from regional neighbors and fishing communities in Fukushima.
