Summary

The Japanese government is providing extensive support to the fishing industry, which has been severely affected by a ban on exporting to China due to the discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima. The government is also promoting the consumption of marine products through a booklet and has launched measures to develop overseas markets for marine products.

Despite these efforts, the Japanese fishing industry has reported a 67% decrease in exports compared to the same period last year. The government is on alert to find new export destinations and is working with Kyae Min, Japan's largest economic organization, to develop overseas markets for marine products.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has announced support measures to promote consumption of seafood, including refunding about 30% of the cost paid by restaurants that serve seafood.

However, the situation is not without controversy. The government is under criticism for the discharge of contaminated water, and the issue still persists in Japan. Fukushima residents have filed a lawsuit to stop the discharge of contaminated water into the sea.

On the other hand, the Korean government has revealed the radioactivity test site where seawater is collected for the first time since the discharge of contaminated water from Japan's nuclear power plant.

The Japanese government has also released a booklet titled "Fukushima Contaminated Water," which has been controversial. The government has spent 40 million won to produce it, saying it would reassure the public with accurate information.

The Japanese government has also been pressured by the World Trade Organization to file a complaint against China's ban on imports of Japanese marine products. The situation has escalated to the international stage, and it seems likely that the conflict between Japan and China over the discharge of contaminated water will also arise at the G20 summit in the future.

In response to China's strong decision to ban the import of Japanese seafood, the Japanese government has urgently taken action to support its fishermen. The government has introduced additional measures worth hundreds of billions of won to support its fishermen.

In China, anti-Japanese sentiment has reached its peak due to the issue of contaminated water discharge. The Japanese embassy has urged people to be careful about their words and actions outside of China. The anti-Japanese atmosphere in China led to the cancellation of trips to Japan, leading to a boycott of products.

Japanese restaurants in China have changed the way they import food ingredients. This situation has ignited anti-Japanese sentiment. A video in Japan that seemed to ridicule Chinese people has further fueled the anti-Japanese sentiment.

The Chinese owner of a Japanese restaurant even destroyed his store. When China imposed a ban on imports of Japanese marine products, the Japanese government pressured the WTO to file a complaint with the World Trade Organization, leading to a diplomatic dispute between the two countries over the discharge of contaminated water. It seems to be spreading to the rest of the world.
