They'll be testing the imports so hopefully after it's established that the imports are ok sales and shipments will pickup.

Are gays widely discriminated against in Japan? Only gays I know here are foreigner acquaintances. Nobody has ever mentioned that they were discriminated against because they're gay nor they mentioned of an instance that happened to others they know.

For as long as Japan uses nuclear plants.
And not just Japan, all countries with nuclear power plants.
These nuclear power plants all dump the wastewater into the oceans.

Not a criticism Ian at all.
Doesn't sound to me like one although I don't mind at all if it was.
I just really don't know exactly what whatabout means or how it's used. I guess I have to look it up myself =)
Anyway I agree and actually do think that it is the most pertinent question to put forward if only because that's probably the only thing I know about the issue.
As you said there is no more money so it must be really difficult for some people to swallow especially if those people are not fully supportive of what the country is doing regarding the war
