China has decided to resume seafood imports from Japan, which were banned due to concerns about radioactive wastewater discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. This decision follows talks in Beijing, and while both sides have made progress, bans on certain Japanese farm products remain in place. Japanese officials argue that the wastewater is safer than international standards and necessary for the plant's decommissioning. This milestone is viewed positively by Japanese ministers as a step towards resolving issues between the two nations, though political tensions persist.
Seafood is an important export item for Japan and a resumption of its export to China is a major milestone.
It will be a big first step that would help Japan and China to tackle a number of remaining issues between the two countries.
