Foreign media: On November 19, 2025, China announced a ban on importing Japanese seafood, which is the result of escalating Sino-Japanese diplomatic disputes.

Previously, China had restricted the import of Japanese seafood due to Japan's nuclear-contaminated water discharge issue. In June this year, some restrictions were partially relaxed. This time, the ban was re-implemented because further monitoring of the nuclear-contaminated water discharge is needed.

Additionally, academic exchange activities between China and Japan have been postponed or canceled, and bilateral relations continue to be tense.
