Hahahahaha It's so funny, South Korea openly slapped Japan in the face, it was so good that it was blended with oil, but it's gone.
On December 25, Japan's Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Chief Cabinet Secretary gathered at the Prime Minister's Office. Because of the discharge of nuclear wastewater, China has completely stopped importing aquatic products, and they have to find new buyers.
At the meeting, a new policy was finalized: to focus on scallop sales to South Korea and the European Union.
As soon as the press release came out, everyone thought that there was a way out for the unsalable Japanese scallops.
Expanding the export of agricultural, forestry, and aquatic products and food should be clearly written and unambiguous. Scallops are sold to South Korea and the European Union, beef is sold to Islamic countries, and rice is sold to Taiwan and other regions.
The fishery industry has a large number of employees, and it is a "big vote warehouse" for politicians to enthusiastically stutter.
Taking scallops as an example, in 2022, Japan exported 91.1 billion yen, of which 46.7 billion was bought by China.
In order to cater to the preferences of Chinese buyers, Hokkaido fishermen specialize in cultivating high-grade scallops, and 99% of them are sold to China, which is not uncommon in the Japanese domestic market.
China announced a complete cessation of imports, and Fumio Kishida immediately announced a subsidy of 80 billion yen. Later, an additional 20 billion was added, and it was also guaranteed that ** would negotiate with the Chinese side and seek sales channels for fishermen. It is necessary to stabilize the "large ticket warehouse".
From August to December, negotiations with the Chinese side were fruitless, and other sales channels remained at the level of a drop in the bucket or on paper. Not to mention anything else, Hokkaido's 90,000 tons of high-grade scallops a year, where can I suddenly find a new buyer?
The meeting on December 25 can be regarded as an explanation to the fishermen: in short, before the end of 2023, things have been settled.
Who knows, the "good news" was only happy for a day, and the South Korean side refuted the rumors.
Yonhap News Agency
According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea** expressed its position on this matter at a regular press conference on the 26th:This is just a plan on the part of the Japanese side, and South Korea still maintains its current import restriction policy.
South Korea currently bans the import of all seafood from eight prefectures, including Fukushima. Aquatic products outside the eight prefectures are nominally subject to "import testing", but in practice they are also prohibited from importing.
South Korea***
Korean Nation**
It can be seen from the report of South Korea's "Nation**".People are also angry, "The scallops that China doesn't want are sold to South Korea?"."It hurts the pride of the nation too much.
Co-authored, a group of Japanese *** gathered at the Prime Minister's official residence and performed a self-talking "show" seriously. Fool the fishermen to show that "I have worked hard and I have achieved results".
Just like on August 24 this year, the day the nuclear sewage was discharged, China announced a total ban on imports. At 7 p.m., Fumio Kishida made a tough speech in a matter-of-fact manner: he has asked the Chinese side to immediately revoke the measure through diplomatic channels.
It is also necessary to "strongly promote China".
Perform "I am a powerful and powerful leader of the earth" in style, and speak well. Chinese netizens advised him that you should call the police.
South Korea refuted the rumors and slapped Japan in the face The news came back to Japan, under normal circumstances, the villagers should criticize their own *** for not doing practical things, just talking empty words for show, right?
The criticism is criticized, but the focus of their criticism is why Japan has not made efforts to open up the domestic market for unsalable high-grade scallops. Until now, even South Korea has openly played Japan.
He also criticized the fishermen for their own self-inflicted efforts to sell high-end goods and ignore domestic consumers. Something happened, and in order to protect their own interests, they made ** submit to China. If China nods and agrees to continue importing, Japan will definitely have to ride into N compromise conditions, which is equivalent to all Japanese paying for the willful selfishness of the fishermen.
In fact, the villagers also thought that the fishermen were greedy, and they were just half a catty to each other. Since China announced a nationwide ban on imports, it has been looking forward to taking this opportunity to knock down high-grade aquatic products such as scallops, oysters, and sea cucumbers. Spend a low price and eat high-end goods.
But fishermen are reluctant to open the "cheap sale" opening, once opened, there is no way back. It's hard and tired and you can't make money, so it's better not to do it.
In the face of the contradiction between "wanting to take advantage" and "not wanting to be taken advantage of", the sin of empty words and showmanship magically escaped.
