All the ports have been sealed, and Japan is to blame! On November 28, according to foreign media reports, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government issued a statement saying that due to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant discharging wastewater into the ocean, the Hong Kong government has banned the import of seafood products from ten Japanese prefectures, including Tokyo and Fukushima. In addition, the Hong Kong government is conducting radiological testing on seafood products from other Japanese prefectures to ensure they meet the conditions for entering the Hong Kong market.
Evidently, after the Chinese mainland once again suspended the import of Japanese seafood products, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is closely cooperating with the central government. For Japan, the announcement by the special administrative region government is a blow to the Japanese aquaculture industry. What does this action mean? It means that the port for Japanese seafood entering the mainland market is completely closed.
In fact, after we suspended the import of Japanese seafood, many Japanese seafood products were redirected through Hong Kong, entering the mainland market via Hong Kong customs. Now that Hong Kong has taken this action, Japanese seafood will face the dilemma of completely leaving the Chinese market. Considering that we were once the largest export destination for Japanese seafood, accounting for 22% of Japan's total seafood exports, such a ban is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Japanese aquaculture industry. But today's situation has developed to this point, which can only be said to be Japan's own fault, and there's no one else to blame.
