China says to 'gradually resume' seafood imports from Japan after Fukushima ban

BEIJING, China — China said Friday that it would 'gradually resume' importing seafood from Japan after imposing a blanket ban in August last year over the release of water from the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant.

'China will begin to adjust the relevant measures based on scientific evidence and gradually resume imports of Japanese aquatic products that meet the regulation requirements and standards,' a foreign ministry statement said.
