That's fate. In the past six months, Japan's nuclear radiation wastewater has finally paid off and suffered bitter fruits. And if the Kishida administration wants to shift the blame to China, it will resort to some ill-intentioned means.
Recently, Japan's leading news agencies conducted a survey of 36 fishing grounds in Japan in response to the effluent being discharged from the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The study found that more than 80% of fishermen said that Japan** discharged polluted seawater into the ocean, seriously affecting the fishing industry in Japan.
Wastewater in Japan contains various radiation components, which cause great harm to the human body.
Many fishermen believe that the erosion of this impression has a large knock-on effect, the most obvious of which is exports. Since Japan announced that it would discharge polluted seawater into the ocean, a number of other countries, including China, have begun to impose restrictions on Japanese seafood, because China is Asia's largest exporter of seafood, and the loss of China's huge market will be a huge shock to Japan's aquaculture industry.
According to figures released by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the growth rate of exports of Japan's relevant industries fell to the lowest level in six years due to a decline in exports to China. Moreover, Japan's exports of seafood will inevitably continue to decline due to the continuous discharge of polluted water bodies.
Japan has previously set a target of 2 trillion yen in exports of agricultural and fishery products by 2027, but it is still a long way from reaching this target. Even if Japan wants to find a product that can replace China, it will not be a simple matter. Japan's reputation in the world has long been tarnished, and the rest of Asia is reluctant to become a pick-up.
In addition to exports, the domestic market is also a big issue. Losing the Chinese market, Japanese fishermen pinned more hopes on their homeland, however, due to the small capacity of the Japanese domestic market, resulting in a surplus of aquatic products, resulting in aquatic products*** In addition, the Japanese are more likely to reject aquatic food in Fukushima and surrounding waters.
Affected by this factor, Japan's aquatic products continue to be affected, which has had a great impact on Japanese fishery practitioners.
The Japanese oppose Japan's discharge of polluted wastewater into the ocean.
It seems that the negative impact on Japan is multifaceted and continues to deteriorate. However, in the face of various facts, the Japanese authorities claim that Japan's fishery industry has suffered a double blow to its reputation and profitability, precisely because the Chinese authorities have ordered that seafood exports from Japan are not allowed.
Japan's remarks are completely reversing black and white, and they want to transfer all their fishermen's resentment towards China to China.
The root cause of the damage to Japan's fishing profits is not China's imposition of sanctions on it, but Japan's own release of polluted sewage into the ocean. For the sake of national health problems, China can only take measures to stop exporting seafood from Japan.
Japan's polluted seawater is discharged into the ocean, and many fish die off the coast.
All in all, Kishida** set his sights on China in order to wash away his innocence. And, as the negative impact of emissions becomes more severe, it is likely that Japan will shift the blame to China and do more.
Japan** had promised about 6 to the fishing industry$700 million in funding to quell complaints about the domestic fishing industry. However, most of the money is spent on public relations and public opinion, and very little is actually used for fishing, which inevitably leads to complaints from some fishermen.
Based on this small reason, Japan ** prefers to push the conflict on China and become their punching bag.
However, since irradiated seawater is discharged for more than 20 years, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how long Japan's subsidy for the country's fishing industry will last. In addition, Japan's position in the world will plummet due to Japan's long-term sewage discharge, and the Japanese seafood market will face even greater challenges.
At the moment, the Japanese authorities still seem to be obsessed with using public sentiment to "pressure" China, which is clearly wishful thinking.
