China is set to bring back a ban on Japanese seafood imports. This is not new. It happened before in 2023. Back then, it was because of worries about water from the Fukushima nuclear plant. The ban was lifted last year. But now, it is coming back.
Why? Because of a fight between China and Japan. The fight started when Japan's leader made comments about Taiwan. China did not like these comments. So, China is using the seafood ban as a way to show its displeasure.
The ban is not just about politics. It is also about safety. China says it needs to check the water from Fukushima. This water is being released into the ocean. China wants to make sure it is safe. The ban will last for a while.
Japan and China had a deal to start seafood trade again. Just recently, Japan sent its first seafood shipment to China. But now, this deal is in trouble. The ban shows that the fight between the two countries is not over.
This is not good for business. Seafood is a big trade between Japan and China. The ban will hurt Japanese seafood sellers. It will also make it harder for China to get seafood. But for now, China is ready for a long fight.
