China to allow resumption of some seafood imports from Japan

China said it will allow the import of some seafood products from Japan to resume, a partial lifting of the blanket ban imposed following Tokyo’s release of wastewater from a wrecked Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in 2023.

The decision came after Japan’s government promised to ensure the safety and quality of the products exported to China and as independent testing showed no abnormalities, according to a statement from the General Administration of Customs on Sunday. Products from 10 prefectures including Fukushima are still barred, according to the statement.
