Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.

China is “highly concerned about the risk of radioactive contamination brought by… Japan’s food and agricultural products,” the customs bureau said in a statement.

The Japanese government signed off on the plan two years ago and it was given a green light by the U.N. nuclear watchdog last month. The discharge is a key step in decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi plant after it was destroyed by a tsunami in 2011.

      Look around, you are the only one seeing goal posts here. There is no argument here. I told you already that. I was just saying if people want to complain about chinas waste, then they need to look in the mirror and see who is the real culprit

        Yeah, I’m sure buddy. Just like that other thread full of shifting goalposts.

        You got slapped down there, you got slapped down here. Stop.

          Lol im sorry i didnt realize I was talking to a kid. I am capable of having a discussion where I can change my mind and still have a nuanced opinion. I apologize if you cant and you have a single brain cell to work with.

          You just want to punch down for some reason. I already said you got me on the issue on these places existing. From what it looks like, you just learned what goalposts were and you are seeing them everywhere. You are the one that also came to me saying my takes on other shit is stupid. Im okay to keep talking to you about how your take is stupid but at this point its a waste of time.

            Brother, two paragraphs in response to 4 sentences means you’re pressed. Stop before you make yourself look worse than you already do.
