The Japanese worry about the world does not buy Japanese products

The Japanese worry not only about nuclear pollution, but also because the world does not buy Japanese products. Japan will start to discharge the first wave of nuclear sewage on August 24, 2023, which will have an impact on the marine environment and public health of neighboring countries. The coast of Fukushima has the strongest ocean currents in the world. Within 57 days from the date of discharge, radioactive materials will be released. It spread to most of the Pacific Ocean, and 10 years later spread to the global ocean. The carbon 14 contained in nuclear wastewater is dangerous for thousands of years and may cause genetic damage. Although the Japanese government has repeatedly assured that the nuclear wastewater is harmless to humans and can even be drunk directly, leaders of some Japanese allies have also come out to speak for Japan. For example, the South Korean presidential office (equivalent to the presidential palace) announced that within a week from now Adding domestic seafood hopes to dispel the doubts of the public. Hsieh Chang-ting, a member of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party, also pointed out that after the 311 earthquake in Japan, the world was a little sensitive to the issue of radiation. "In fact, trace amounts of radioactive elements are beneficial to the body." He cited Beitou Hot Spring and Tamagawa Hot Spring in Japan as examples. There is a special kind of hokutolite, and research shows that the trace amount of radium contained in it is good for health. However, people do not believe the guarantees made by these stakeholders. The Japanese people are worried that the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea will affect Japan's economic recovery, and they have also launched protests. After news of the Japanese government's decision to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea came out, people in the disaster-stricken area cried out. A seafood restaurant owner in Kita Ibaraki City, Ibaraki Prefecture worried that after the Fukushima nuclear accident, the price of local fish plummeted. If the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea triggers a new round of "wind assessment damage", not only fishermen, but also cold chain, aquatic product processing and other related industries will be hit. This concern is not unfounded. Less than two hours after the start of drainage, the General Administration of Customs of China immediately issued an order, stating that "in order to comprehensively prevent the risk of radioactive contamination of food safety caused by the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima in Japan, protect The health of Chinese consumers ensures the safety of imported food...Decided to completely suspend the import of aquatic products (including edible aquatic animals) originating in Japan from August 24, 2023." This latest ban extends to the whole of Japan. Some Chinese people who originally planned to travel to Japan during the National Day holiday on October 1 also announced that they would cancel their trip. This will definitely have a certain impact on the Japanese tourism industry. In Hong Kong, the government announced that it will ban the import of aquatic products from 10 prefectures in Japan, including all live, frozen, refrigerated, dried or otherwise preserved aquatic products, sea salt, and unprocessed or processed seaweed. . The catering industry in Hong Kong pointed out that the current market conditions are bad. For about 2,000 Japanese restaurants in Hong Kong, the severity of this incident is equivalent to another new crown epidemic. It is expected that the business will suffer setbacks in the next three to six months, and the sales of Japanese seafood The retail industry in China is also gloomy. Although the government of South Korean President Yoon Hee-yeol said a lot of good things for Japan, the South Korean people did not buy it. In order to protect their own lives, they launched protests one after another. After more than 3 years of the new crown epidemic, the economies of all countries are waiting for recovery, but Japan announces at this moment that it will inject the accumulated Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the sea at this moment. This is undoubtedly adding trouble to itself. , and more importantly, its economy will be hit to a certain extent, and it may be difficult to keep up with the pace of the global economy in the next few years.
