Japan releases water from Fukushima nuclear plant, China furious

The Hindu  

Japan began releasing wastewater from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, prompting a furious China to ban all seafood imports from its neighbour. But China has warned the release will contaminate the ocean, and immediately responded Thursday by blasting Japan as "extremely selfish". It then banned all Japanese seafood imports "to comprehensively prevent the food safety risks of radioactive contamination" -- with Japan hours later demanding China lift the ban. China on Thursday extended its import ban to cover all of Japan, while Prime Minister Fumio Kishida told reporters that Tokyo had demanded Beijing "immediately eliminate" the ban, calling for "science-based discussions".
