The curb on these food products will continue with me.

The Chinese will believe the Japanese radiation water is safe if the Japanese politicians drink those water in front of live TV. If Mr.Kishida willing to do this, that will be most welcome.

China, HK and Macau governments are still banning JP food, but their top officials eat all kinds of imported JP food anyway, and their visitors to JP cannot have enough, Fukushima or not Fukushima. All that ban now is sheer politics. Chinese food anytime is worse than radioactive, so that is why Chinese leaders eat JP foods imported through a system known as Special Catering (特供系統). The trolls all know that, but since they are paid to spread lies, they shut up on that.
