China’s Fukushima-linked seafood ban is unacceptable, Japan tells WTO

Some Japanese officials have signalled the country may file a WTO complaint, which the US ambassador to Japan said last week the United States would support.

Japan has told the World Trade Organization (WTO) that China’s ban on Japanese seafood after the release of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant was “totally unacceptable”, the Japanese foreign ministry said late on Monday.
