TOKYO/BEIJING – Japanese officials are worried that China, the biggest buyer of its seafood exports, may halt purchases of those items after Tokyo begin releasing treated wastewater from its crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.more than a million tonnes of water, enough to fill 500 Olympic swimming pools, used to cool the plant’s fuel rods after it was wrecked by a 2011 tsunami.
China is also the fiercest critic of Japan’s planned release of the water, saying it threatens marine life and human health. “We think they may enforce a total ban on Japanese maritime products,” one of the officials said. “They want to punish Japan economically for this.” Japan’s foreign ministry declined to comment on the possibility of more bans but said Japan had sought scientific discussions with China on the release and would continue to do so.
Hong Kong said on Tuesday that when Japan begins the release, it would “immediately take control measures, including imposing import control on aquatic products from high-risk prefectures”.
