This is something I don’t really like about the WTO.
If a populace doesn’t want some product in their country you shouldn’t force them to have it.
True but in this case it’s not populace deciding to make the food import ban, it’s the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They are using this opportunity to create a impact on Japan’s economy which is already struggling under the strain of inflation the country hasn’t experienced in decades.
It is just political posturing and nothing else. Not out of concern for the Chinese people.
Are they wrong though? I definitely wouldn’t want to eat that fish. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/24/fukushima-fish-with-180-times-legal-limit-of-radioactive-cesium-fuels-water-release-fears
It’s already pretty telling that Japan is trying to export it when they’re a huge seafood consumer themselves to the point where they rely on imports
Why want to get rid of Fukushima fish when it’s supposedly safe to eat?
