Japanese scallops have been exported to China, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to strengthen supervision over the export of Japanese aquatic products to China

On November 7, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. The Japanese government announced that a batch of Japanese scallops has been exported to China recently. This is the first time that Japanese aquatic products have been exported to China since China imposed an import ban on Japanese aquatic products in two years. What is China's comment on this? "Regarding the export of Japanese aquatic products to China, the Chinese side has already issued an announcement." Mao Ning stressed that China will continue to conduct international monitoring of the nuclear-contaminated water at Fukushima in Japan and independent sampling monitoring by China. We hope that the Japanese side can continue to carry out international monitoring of the nuclear-contaminated water at Fukushima and independent sampling monitoring by China. We will also continue to work with the international community to urge the Japanese side to continue to fulfill its commitments. "The competent Chinese authorities will continue to strictly follow the law and regulations, strengthen supervision of the export of Japanese aquatic products to China, ensure the food safety of the people, and immediately take necessary import restrictions in accordance with the law once any risks are identified," Mao Ning stressed.
