quote of the day
China makes claims that are not scientific. If I were to speak for the Japanese government, I would say, ‘We don’t want China of all countries to say something like that.'

As bribery-tainted Amari implies, China is totally not to be trusted and is hypocritical, but a Nippon Kaigi member, such as he, will tolerate no criticism from the likes of China and will know Japan is always thin-skinned.

Like what

China's claims that the water release is dangerous, despite the IAEA confirming it's safe, and the fact that China's own nuclear power plants (and industry in general) release far worse things. It's purely political, as everything is with China.

And if you want another example: all China's COVID disinformation, which continues to this day.

It's not only China.
There's Russia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Macau and other 9 economies saying the same.

Mostly irrelevant. Even Switzerland imports more seafood from Japan than Russia.
Is, again, China.
Their government is fine with it.
Did not announce any bans or regulations.
Is, again, China.
Who are these "9 economies"? And what happened to your "55 other economies", did they sublimate?
lunatic
It's only 9+6 economies.
I'm letting you do the research by yourself.
You're free to ignore any country that doesn't fit your political agenda.
Roy Sophveason
That's not how it works. It is not my task to substantiate your statements, especially not when they are formulated in such a nebulous way that they can mean anything or nothing.
lunatic
I gave up on you last time I tried to make you understand what market intervention is, and how is it performed by the BOJ.
You wanna prove me wrong? Try it!
Roy Sophveason
I remember. You were arguing that bonds buybacks are illegal. Hilarious.
Prove you wrong on what? You still refuse to say what you actually mean. How can someone prove you wrong on something you keep to yourself?
lunatic
What is exactly what you don't understand?
Use Google and you'll find the full list of countries. I'm not gonna do it for you.
It's not only China.
There's Russia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Macau and other 9 economies saying the same.
Roy Sophveason
Well, I replied to you on those already.
And you are still not saying what and who those "9 economies" are. This is getting a bit tiresome. At some point one has to assume that you are being deliberately obtuse.

China is going this as political for the export ban on semi-conductor exports to China. Has nothing to do with science. China weaponizes anything and everything to their advantage.

Another of the useless"Silver Spoons" that Japan has an abundance of.

Okay so Japan never said unscientific things, such as they are totally different from other races because their intestines are longer, they never ransacked Nanking to the extent that was documented, etc,

China quietly released a lot worse in to the ocean...
