During his meeting with Natsuo Yamaguchi, Foreign Minister Wang Yi clearly pointed out that the root cause of the difficulties in Sino-Japanese relations lies in Japan's strategic perception of China. He expressed the hope that the Japanese side will view China's development in an objective and rational manner, establish a positive and friendly understanding of China, and translate this understanding into concrete decisions and actions. Wang Yi specifically mentioned the proper handling of major and sensitive issues such as Taiwan. These remarks sent a positive signal to Japan and demonstrated China's firm position in China-Japan relations.
During the talks, Wang Yi also specifically mentioned the issue of the discharge of nuclear sewage from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. He hoped that the Japanese side would create opportunities for China's independent monitoring and find a common solution from a scientific perspective. This statement shows China's concern about the issue of nuclear sewage discharge, and clearly expresses the hope that Japan will properly handle the matter in a responsible and constructive manner. This also opens up the possibility for the two sides to reach a consensus on the establishment of a mechanism.
One of the important purposes of Fumio Kishida's visit to China is to try to persuade China to lift the ban on Japanese aquatic products. It's not an easy task, though. Even before Fumio Kishida's visit to China, China had repeatedly expressed concern about the discharge of nuclear sewage from Fukushima and completely suspended the import of Japanese aquatic products. According to data released by the General Administration of Customs of China, China's total imports of Japanese aquatic products have fallen sharply since Japan began discharging nuclear wastewater. This fully illustrates China's concern about the discharge of nuclear sewage and the protection of people's health.
During the meeting, Wang Yi once again raised concerns about Japan's discharge of nuclear sewage and made it clear that he hoped that the Japanese side would properly handle the issue in a responsible and constructive manner. This statement once again highlights China's firm position on the issue of Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge. If Kishida** continues to insist on going his own way, it is undoubtedly unrealistic for China to lift sanctions on Japanese aquatic products.
Fumio Kishida sent Natsuo Yamaguchi to visit China, with some other potential purposes besides trying to persuade China to lift the ban on Japanese aquatic products. Komeito has a close historical relationship with China, and as early as the last century, Komeito promoted the initiative to normalize diplomatic relations between Japan and China. During his visit to China, Natsuo Yamaguchi was met by the Chinese high-level leaders, which was regarded as a positive signal that relations between the two countries are expected to improve. Kishida** hopes that this visit will ease Sino-Japanese relations and enhance mutual understanding and trust between the two countries.
At the same time, Kishida's visit to China is also to show Japan's positive attitude towards the Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge issue. Although Kishida** turned a deaf ear and insisted on discharging the nuclear sewage into the sea, they still wanted to win China's understanding and support through diplomatic means. It is also a response to the call of the international community and the people of neighbouring countries to stop the discharge of nuclear wastewater.
On the issue of discharging nuclear sewage into the sea, China has always adhered to a responsible attitude and has repeatedly stressed that the ocean is the common heritage of all mankind. China expresses grave concern over Japan's move to promote the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, and urges Japan to stop passing on the risk of nuclear contamination, engage in sincere and constructive communication with stakeholders, and properly handle the issue of the discharge of nuclear sewage from Fukushima.
China's sanctions against Japan are aimed at safeguarding its own food safety and people's health. After Japan began discharging nuclear wastewater, China completely suspended the import of Japanese aquatic products and called on Japan to stop the discharge. If Kishida continues to promote the discharge of nuclear wastewater, it will undoubtedly be impossible for China to lift sanctions on Japanese aquatic products.
In the current international environment, Kishida should listen carefully to the voices of the people of all countries in the world and stop the discharge of nuclear wastewater. Only by properly handling the Fukushima nuclear sewage issue in a responsible and constructive manner will Kishida** be able to make a substantial contribution to the improvement of Sino-Japanese relations.
Summary: China's firm position on the issue of Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge has received widespread attention and support from the international community. Kishida hopes to ease Sino-Japanese relations by sending a visit to China and persuade China to lift the ban on Japanese aquatic products. However, it is not easy to achieve this goal. The Chinese side has made it clear that if Japan continues to push for the discharge of nuclear wastewater, then restrictions on Japanese aquatic products will continue to exist. Kishida should take China's concerns and calls seriously, stop the discharge of nuclear wastewater, and take responsible measures for the improvement of China-Japan relations and the health and safety of the people of neighboring countries.
