The Japanese embassy in China on Friday (August 25) called on citizens in China to keep a low profile.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin sternly criticized Tokyo’s move on Tuesday (August 22) for “transferring the risk of nuclear pollution to the world” and “extremely selfish and extremely irresponsible.”Japan says emissions pose no threat to marine environment, human health. At the same time, the project has also been approved and approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The Komeito party of Japan’s ruling coalition said on Saturday that party leader Natsuo Yamaguchi postponed his trip to China next week.

The Japanese consulate in Hong Kong also issued a notice warning of possible protests near the consulate.

Long queues at some Japanese sushi restaurants continued during peak hours, Archyde.com reported, corroborating what many Hong Kongers say they are not worried about and will continue to patronize Japanese restaurants. This Friday, in front of a Japanese chain sushi chain sushi restaurant “Sushiro” in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, at noon, dozens of customers entered the meal after waiting for up to an hour. A young customer in line told Archyde.com: “I’m not very worried about the radiation issue. It’s good not to overdose on anything, right?

The Hong Kong government has imposed a ban on the import of aquatic products from 10 places in Japan on the grounds of protecting public health. Hong Kong is the second largest market for Japanese agricultural and fishery products, after mainland China. There are many good Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong, and Japan is also a favorite holiday destination for many Hong Kong people.
Russian seafood tastes good?
In supermarkets in Hong Kong, sashimi and seafood are now clearly labeled where they come from, with many of these products coming from Argentina, Canada and Norway. At the moment when Japanese seafood is questioned, Russia hopes to seize this opportunity to fill the gap in the seafood market and increase seafood exports to China. Russia is one of China’s top seafood suppliers, and Rosselkhoznadzor, Russia’s food safety regulator, said in July that 894 Russian companies had been granted permission to export seafood. Overall, the Chinese market has great potential for Russian seafood, the agency said in a statement. The agency wants to increase the volume and variety of products, and plans to continue dialogue with China on seafood safety issues. The statement also revealed that from January to August this year, more than half of Russia’s aquatic products were exported to China, mainly cod, herring, flounder, sardines, cod and crab.
Rosselkhoznadzor also mentioned Japanese seafood in his statement, noting that screening of seafood imports from Japan has been stepped up, albeit in negligible quantities. The regulator also said that about 70 percent of Russia’s seafood comes from the Russian Far East, where the direction of ocean currents “will prevent contamination of seafood caught by Russian ships.”
