Japan poisoning the Pacific Ocean - Kishida putting out a lame show

 Japan is playing the victim part of the Fukushima contaminated water release, instead of China, South Korea and others, trying to gather sympathy from the rest of the world by playing the WTO card. Bring the issue to the WTO for all China cares, but it will make the Chinese people even more intent on avoiding Japanese seafood. The WTO cannot order that the Chinese people must consume Japanese seafood, right? There is such a thing as 'Freedom of Choice' that had always been espoused by the USA itself.

Japananese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was reported to have eaten seafood with ministers earlier in the week, right after the release of the water, but that action is not going to bring any comfort to the Chinese nor the South Koreans. Remember that the Japs are going to be releasing the contaminated water over 30 to 40 years, or longer with more contaminated wastewater being generated by the day. As with all things dangerous and toxic, continuous ingestion or subjecting to, is going to cause harm in the long run.

For what kind of a show Kishida and his ministers are trying to put on, those fish or seafood could have come from anywhere, probably caught long ago and frozen like those bluefins caught in deep sea and frozen on board for months, so it tells us nothing about the safety of the fish being eaten. It rather makes a mockery of Fumio Kishida trying so early to pull a fast one. If he keeps eating the fishes really caught off Japan for months, I may say he is not trying to pull wool over people's eyes.

As I did mention earlier, the release of those water into the ocean had been talked about long ago, but due to objections, were held back. The most pertinent observation that I could not put away was the fact that the contaminiated water release came just days after Kishida, Yoon and Biden met at Camp David, and it was obvious that the release was effected after given the go ahead by Biden. Kishida is banking on the believe that with Biden's approval, no one would dare to raise objections, coming from the reigning superpower. With that stamp of approval, no one was thought to be daring enough to raise any objection. Fiji did raise a whimper of an objection, but was just brushed aside as noice coming from a Chiwawa by the Japanese. However those objections from China and South Korea, took the Japs somewhat by surprise, but not beyond my expectation. Yoon was probably told by Biden to handle the South Korean side of the problem.
