Release time:Apr 16, 2024 12:22 PM

On September 5th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference.

A reporter from Kyodo News Agency in Japan asked that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 4th that it had submitted a written document to the World Trade Organization (WTO), stating that the import control measures announced by China after Japan initiated the discharge of "nuclear treated water" into the sea were "completely unacceptable". May I ask what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thinks about this? Will we negotiate with the Japanese side on this matter?

Mao Ning stated that we have repeatedly expressed China's solemn position on the issue of Japan's nuclear contaminated water being discharged into the sea. The forced discharge of nuclear contaminated water by Japan into the ocean has never been a precedent since the peaceful use of nuclear energy by humans, and there is no recognized standard for disposal. The international community is generally concerned about the risks that Japan's actions bring to the marine environment and public safety, and has taken preventive measures. China's relevant measures are fully legitimate, reasonable, and necessary.

"As for the specific issue you mentioned, I suggest consulting with the Chinese regulatory authorities," said Mao Ning.

According to Global Times, several Japanese media outlets including Fuji Shimbun reported on the 5th that the documents submitted by the Kishida government to the WTO are aimed at China's notification to the WTO on August 31st and have decided to take import control measures. The document claims that Japan will continue to demand that China revoke the measure.

In response to the Kishida government's launch of nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea on August 24th, the General Administration of Customs of China released a message on the same day: In order to comprehensively prevent the radioactive pollution risk caused by Japan's Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea, protect the health of Chinese consumers, and ensure the safety of imported food, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and its implementation regulations, the Measures for the Administration of Import and Export Food Safety of the People's Republic of China, as well as the relevant provisions of the Agreement on the Implementation of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures of the World Trade Organization, the General Administration of Customs has decided to completely suspend the import of aquatic products originating from Japan from August 24th, 2023.

Japan has previously hinted that it is considering filing a complaint with the WTO. In addition, regarding the possibility of Japan appealing China's import control measures to the WTO, US Ambassador to Japan Emmanuel recently stated, "If Japan decides to take this action, the United States will support it."

CCTV News: In recent days, the planting and transplanting work of Jiangxi Zhongdao is fully underway. In Ji'an City, some areas have adopted a new technology of "three in one" for rice planting this year, which means that a machine can simultaneously complete transplanting, fertilization, and spraying, which can effectively save costs and increase efficiency. This is a rice field in Aocheng Town, Ji'an County, Ji'an City, where several agricultural machines are working in the field. These machines look the same as regular rice transplanters from the appearance, but the agricultural machinery operator told reporters that two new parts have been installed on the machine - a side deep fertilization and spraying device, which can complete rice transplants, fertilization, and spraying in one go. Not only does it save labor costs, but it can also fertilize seedlings more accurately. The side deep fertilization device can apply fertilizer to the soil at a depth of 3-5 centimeters on the side of seedlings, so that fertilization will not cause excessive fertility and problems such as root rot.

Author: Mao Yufei In 1985, at the luxurious villa of the Sackler family, family members held an important meeting. Richard Sackler stood against the light, his face half bright and half dark. Richard is responsible for product development and marketing at the family founded Purdue Pharmaceutical Company, and is a pending successor. The patent for Mesconazole, which once generated 25% of sales for Purdue, is about to expire. Richard has proposed a heavyweight plan to his family's predecessors: to develop a new opioid drug specifically designed to alleviate moderate pain. For this plan, several seniors frowned and said, "Opioid drugs are easily addictive and cannot be used repeatedly." Richard's uncle Arthur Sackler nodded and then waved at Richard, saying, "Don't get your mind too stuck. The market needs to find ways to create it yourself.". In 2015, in a battle against
