China to end ban on seafood importation from Japan

BEIJING — China said Friday that it is ready to 'gradually resume' importing seafood from Japan after imposing a total ban in August last year over the release of water from the inactivated 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.
