Posted in: China tells Japan blanket seafood testing meant to protect consumers See in context
Chinese food safety is laughable. This is the same government that allows the use of gutter oil and rat meat masquerading as lamb, The so-called testing for food safety is nothing more than punitive action for Japan's political alignment with the USA.

Fukushima-ken never stopped being a destination for anyone with half a brain. It's the third largest prefecture in the country and has much to offer, especially during winter, all at a safe distance from the disaster that became synonymous with its name.

China wants to infect the rest of the world with their new, more virulent strains. If they drag other nations down to their level, it's a big win in their eyes. There should be a ban on all travel from China.

@wallace "We moved to the sea/countryside four years ago. Couldn't be happier."
Sounds great. My wife and I have contemplated such a move. May I ask what general area has this seemingly ideal combination of services/conveniences along with countryside living in close proximity to the sea?
