Japan exported about $600 million worth of aquatic products to China in 2022, making it the biggest market for Japanese exports, with Hong Kong second. Sales to China and Hong Kong accounted for 42% of all Japanese aquatic exports in 2022, according to government data.

They still can't come up with anything other than "it's not safe!" And "you're so irresponsible"?

Previous articles on this say the water is less contaminated than that which comes out of some of China's plants.

This article: IAEA says 10,000 becquerels per liter is the safe limit. Japan's output will be 63 per liter.

China are the ultimate projectionists with this stuff. No transparency for themselves, and very quick to scream blue bloody murder about everyone else.
