Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.
China is “highly concerned about the risk of radioactive contamination brought by… Japan’s food and agricultural products,” the customs bureau said in a statement.
The Japanese government signed off on the plan two years ago and it was given a green light by the U.N. nuclear watchdog last month. The discharge is a key step in decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi plant after it was destroyed by a tsunami in 2011.
Sure. Because Chinese food regulations are notoriously tight and the populace is so protected from contaminated foods.
I’m guessing this has more to do with fishing rights in the South China Sea and this is just convenient for them.
Wasn’t that virus issue that we just had and continued to have caused from wet markets over there?..or no that was the Japanese who caused it right?
/S if no one got the joke
https://theconversation.com/was-coronavirus-really-in-europe-in-march-2019-141582 I don’t think we’ll ever be 100% certain where COVID got started.
Unfortunately that shows that it’s probably a bad sample, the paper calls it out at the end. The curious issue here is they found it in Jan 2020 but them March of 2019…but nothing in between. So the odds of the march sample being a false positive are pretty high.
The medical community is pretty well positive it originally came from the Wuhan lab, that was found to be selling their used animals on the wet market, I don’t think I’ve seen anything for a while now say different. Unless it’s a Chinese source which doesn’t want to take responsibility at all.
Covid was also found in blood samples in Norway from 2019 https://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/i/RrQw05/coronaviruset-kan-ha-vaert-i-norge-allerede-i-2019-forandrer-historien
Yeah but that’s Dec of 2019, it was pretty well known at that time that it had already left Wuhan. It’s why a lot of people who were following the spread figured the walling off of Wuhan like china tried was fruitless. 80mil+ people, someone has traveled at that point in time.
