China Criticised for Japanese Seafood Ban Over Fukushima Discharge
China banned seafood imports from Japan due to concerns over radioactive contamination from the Fukushima water discharge. Scientists note China's own nuclear plants release more tritium. Tepco began discharging treated water on August 24, with approval from IAEA and Japan. The discharge is expected to last over 30 years. Tepco's tests show radioactivity within safe limits. Japan's Prime Minister Kishida requested China lift the ban. China argues the Fukushima discharge is different from routine plant releases. Hong Kong also banned imports. South Korea shifted stance after IAEA approval.
