China has formally urged Japan to implement robust measures to guarantee the safety and quality of its aquatic products, reiterating its steadfast opposition to Japan’s unilateral discharge of Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water. The call was made during a technical exchange between China’s General Administration of Customs and Japanese officials on Thursday, as confirmed by Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian. The discussions focused on enhancing inspection and monitoring protocols to ensure the safety of aquatic products. Lin emphasized that any resumption of aquatic product imports from Japan must be grounded in continuous, independent scientific data collected by China. He further stressed that Japan must take concrete actions to ensure its exports comply with Chinese legal and regulatory standards. Japan, in response, acknowledged China’s concerns and reaffirmed its commitment to international monitoring and independent sampling to meet Chinese requirements. Lin reiterated China’s unwavering stance against the unilateral ocean discharge of nuclear-contaminated water, pledging continued collaboration with the international community to ensure strict oversight of such activities.
