China bans seafood imports from Japan amid Taiwan row

Tokyo’s Tsukiji fish market and Ueno businesses are worried as a China-imposed seafood ban and travel warning hit Japanese tourism and trade. Japanese PM Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan have escalated the dispute, with China demanding a retraction. Analysts warn that continued tensions could cost Japan up to 14 billion dollars, affecting both local businesses and residents. Our correspondent Chris Gilbert headed to Tokyo’s biggest fish market to see what businesses think.

  1. She should blame the new PM. She deliberately provoked China for absolutely no benefit to Japan.
    This is when Japan's economy is already in danger zone.

  2. The next Ukraine please or please.. jp/sk
    Philippines
    Fake Taiwan's
    Fake AUSTRALIAN to INDIA servants WAR crimes f too. Please ONE'S mighty CHINA'S & NK too. 🇰🇵🇨🇳🇵🇰 & greater ASIA'S RULES!

  3. Don't forget, the japanese were doing worse things than the nazis in WW2 and for a longer time also….The "Kawaii" society that you know from the internet due to anime is not real.

    Kamikaze and Seppuku have shown us, that the japanese will take themselves down if they have to in order to not lose. Only hiroshima and nagasaki made them silent. If Japan would ever attack china due to a Taiwan conflict, a new Hiroshima would silence them. Not to mention tokyo is the most dense populated city in the world, a big weakness.

    In the end it's just foolish talks by a foolish politician.

  4. Regardless of any spat, why is anyone buying Japan's seafood when they're contaminated by the radioactive water from Japan's nuclear reactors which Japanese keep dumping into the sea? People are destined for cancer.

  5. Just get Taiwan to purchase more. Taiwanese are weird especially after the Italian pizza owner bad mouth them and uses foul language. Instead of boycotting that pizzeria and eating at other establishments, they continue to spend their money and bought more food to eat there. 🙄 What kind of flex is that? 😅

  6. That’s what capitalism brings to the people fearing of losing jobs money no at the first that you have food house water electricity for yourself

  7. Tiwan is indepandant country. Tibet belongs to India. China was itself not a country before 1945. One day china will claim whole earth as part if ancient Chinese empire.

  8. What do you mean by 'dispute'? Does China OWE anything to japan that China MUST buy japan's seafood??? Why don't japan ask their fellow DOGGOs to buy their seafood?

  9. Japan export all Fukushima fishery to China. And Imports fishery for Japanese consumption.
    If Japan don't export it will be very affordable seafood heaven for Japanese. Something to celebrate
