Japan overfishes anyway, they caused a squid shortage some time ago. If this gives the ocean even a little bit of breathing room, whatevs.
Lol Japan will just find another market for the seafood like they did when West Taiwan banned imports 2 years ago
Trump normalized sensationalized political remarks. “whoops, I was just joking” seems be acceptable nowadays.
I am glad something has been done to hold a speaker responsible for her flippant remarks.
Word is important. In Buddhism, right speech is one of eightfold path. Jesus said “what comes out of your mouth defiles you.”
John told us “in the beginning, there was the world”. The word of God created our world. How can anyone say petty about power of word?
So it took this brilliant leadership of the new (female) PM what like a week or two to cause a diplomatic crisis with China? GREAT JOB! Fyi, Europe and Germany had Merkel for like 2 decades and its pretty much ruined the future of the whole continent. Anyway, good luck Japan you gonna need it with this broad it seems.
TBH Japan could probably sell part of that to the domestic market and it could export the rest somewhere else. I don’t think it should be that much of a loss at all.
Supply will increase and prices will go down. Thank, China!
This is so stupid, because it’s obvious China would not be able to take Taiwan militarily. The only way China could possibly takeover Taiwan would be by political means, but acting like a petty bully just makes that harder.
I’d been tracking the yen to USD exchange rate and while I personally don’t agree with the new administration’s economic policy of artificially lowering the yen value, I respected that it was holding pretty steady at around 154 yen : 1 USD… but unfortunately this whole spat with China has cause it to nosedive further. Hopefully this can be resolved soon if it breaks 160 I will cry
After bad mouthing of the seafood because of the nuclear incident, lowering the demand of it, and use the same leverage?
Good.
The yen is tumbling against the USD, thinking the Japan will quickly recover from this is cope
Japan has no leverage to make foreign policy decisions like this – only do so with the backing of the US
Also now instead of paying for fish, Chinese fishermen will just fish in Japanese waters lol
FYI, China banned JP seafood imports back in August 23 due to some Fukushima BS, with a partial lift some months ago so there’s not much left to lose for Japan. Therefore, not far from 0. Even pre-ban, it was below 1 billion USD.
Chinese seafood exports to Japan are around 3 to 4 billions USD.
Lmao, China’s comeback is so weak.
Seems like they forgot their 2023 ban just pushed Japan to expand its markets in the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Japanese seafood exports grew by over 20% in the first half of this year.
Time for a new trick, Winnie。
Here we go again. So predictable, so childish.
I’m not sure if China is trying to punish Japan with decreased fish sales and tourism or trying to encourage them with lower food prices and no crazy Chinese tour groups. Maybe the PM should talk about defending Taiwan more. It might get China to threaten to pull out of the real estate market as well.
No big deal. Taiwan can take up all of seafood exports China did not want. Besides, Japanese hate Chinese money.
