And yet, a USA envoy came out days ago to criticise China for banning
Japanese seafood imports. China should go further and ban all foodstuff
from Japan as the link from seafood goes much further than just eating
fish from Japan alone. USA Ambassador Rahm Emmanuel even visited a city
in Fukishima just to eat fish and fruits on August 31. What is he trying
to prove? That he is a hero? Paradoxically the USA had already banned
Japanese foodstuff, which must have included seafood, much earlier
itself, over radiation fears, and as Putin said, the USA will criticise
others for things it had been doing itself before others. The USA
leaders think the rest of the world are silly, uninformed and dumb, like
their own voters.
Saying that the earlier ban by the USA is
restrictied only to foodstuff from certain areas of Japan, where
investigations carried out on those foodstuff, indicated radiation
levels hundreds of times above safety limits, which is not a revelation
of comfort for others. Those import restrictions were later hurriedly
removed, possibly trying to pave a way for Japan to embark on carrying
out its intention to release the Fukushima wastewater into the ocean,
which had been piling up uncontrollaby. The Japanese intention had
already been talked about since 2021, and they only waited for the
rubber stamp of approval by the IAEA, which in turn needed the go ahead
by the USA for sure. Which the Japanese were betting on to silence
critics with those connections.
It does not detract from the fact
that the USA had long found issues with those foodstuff from Japan and
imposed the ban, undoubtedly only to lift it to facilitate Japan's wish
to release those wastewater into the ocean. Radiation issues cannot
realistically and suddenly disappear overnight and food becomes safe
like magic. It takes decades, even centuries to clear.
Just look
at Chenobyl, which is still problematically leaking radiation
dangerously after more than three decades encased in concrete. And look
at the testing ground in the Pacific Ocean, eg Bikini Island now feared
to be leaking radioactive substances into the ocean from all those
nuclear tests conducted by the West. This attempt to whitewash the
release of radioactive water into the ocean is absolutely an
irresponsible and unimaginably ridiculous plot full of holes.
So,
looking at the issue now, the USA, by lifting the ban on import of
Japanese foodstuff which includes seafood earlier, is ostensibly an
attempt to help the Japanese food industry to weather the storm, but
indirectly is telling USA citizens that they can die, which is their own
business, but helping Japan is paramount. This is not much different
from USA senators caring more for Ukraine than Hawaiian people after
their children, homes and businesses were burnt to a crisp, or USA
citizens living on the streets while billions were sent to aid Ukraine.
Good luck to the USA people.
By the way, the German Government
is predicatably following the USA, with Annalena Bearbock, the German
Foreign Minister, openly telling her people that Ukraine is more
important than them. Good luck to the German people as well.

PS. The Pacific Ocean current will bring the contaminated waste water from Japan to the US, Canada and South America, including the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Australia. The final destination of these contaminated water is all the oceans of the world.
