Completely suspend imports of Japanese aquatic products! Ministry of Commerce: will take all necessary measures to maintain food safety and public health

In response to China's comprehensive suspension of imports of aquatic products originating from Japan starting from August 24th, spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, Shu Jueting, responded at a regular press conference on the same day that the Japanese government unilaterally initiated the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea, which is an extremely selfish and irresponsible act that ignores international public interests.

Subsequently, Chinese customs announced a ban on importing food from ten prefectures in Japan, including Fukushima, and implemented 100% inspection on food, especially seafood, from other regions of Japan. The Japanese restaurants in China have been most affected by this policy. In the past, it only took 2-3 days for Japanese seafood to be caught and delivered to restaurants in China.

The Supreme Court of Japan rejects the appeal of the Okinawa Prefectural Government regarding the relocation of US military airports in Japan

According to a report by Kyodo News Agency on the 24th, the Supreme Court of Japan made a decision on a lawsuit filed by Okinawa Prefecture regarding the opposition between the Japanese government and the Okinawa Prefectural Government over the relocation of the US military's Putenma Base in Japan. It did not accept the appeal filed by Okinawa Prefecture and upheld the ruling made by the Fukuoka High Court Naha Branch in March this year that the Okinawa Prefectural Government lost the lawsuit. The focus of the conflict in this case is the land reclamation construction in the Yanyegu area near the relocation site of Putianjian Base. Due to the soft geological conditions in some areas, it is not suitable to build facilities such as airplane runways. The Japanese Ministry of Defense has proposed a construction design change plan, and the Okinawa Prefectural Government has made a decision not to approve it. Subsequently, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan intervened and deemed the decision of the Okinawa Prefectural Government not to approve it invalid.

[Perspective] American Media: Economic Turbulence, Political Divergence... The United States is a country with immense pressure and widespread disillusionment

According to an article published on the website of the United States Capitol Hill on August 22nd, the United States is a country with immense pressure and a widespread sense of disillusionment. At the beginning of the article, it is stated that let's face reality: the United States is a country under tremendous pressure. The COVID-19, economic turmoil, racial injustice, gun violence, climate change and political differences have been the main contents of news reports for many years and become the main source of pressure. The article states that a study initiated by the American Psychological Association in 2022 found that three-quarters of adults reported violence and crime as important sources of stress, and 73% of adults believed that mass shootings increased their stress. Lack of money is another important source of stress, with 57% of adults worried about not being able to pay mortgage loans, rent, or purchase food. The Republican Party's support for

Encouraging a surge in violent crime in other countries, billionaire Bloomberg harshly criticizes lax government control over overseas gun sales in the United States | Firearms | United States

Billionaire Bloomberg China Daily, August 24th (local time) - On August 22nd, American billionaire Bloomberg wrote an article on the Bloomberg website, criticizing the lax control over overseas gun sales in the United States, which has contributed to a surge in violent crime in other countries. The article states that since 2016, the number of semi-automatic firearms exported from the United States has more than doubled. A Bloomberg survey shows that these sales have brought huge profits to the firearms industry, while causing chaos throughout Latin America, including the US Mexico border. Guatemala is a typical example. The sales of semi-automatic firearms made in the United States in Guatemala are almost twice as high as two years ago. Although American gun manufacturers typically sell firearms to local governments and security companies, these weapons quickly flow into the black market and fall into the hands of criminals.

Philippine People Oppose Japan's Nuclear Polluted Water Discharge into the Sea Overseas Network, August 24th (Xinhua) -- Recently, the Japanese government announced that it will initiate the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea, disregarding strong opposition from its own fishing industry and neighboring countries.

The Philippine National Federation of Small Fishermen's Organizations, which has over 100000 members, announced on the 22nd that it plans to hold a protest against Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea this month.

World Report: The wealthiest polluter in the United States, known as the "super emitter," bears an inescapable responsibility for continuing the climate crisis! Global | US | Emissions

China Daily, August 24th - According to a recent report by CNN, the wealthiest group in the United States is also one of the world's largest polluters, not only because they have huge homes and private planes, but also because of the fossil fuels produced by the companies they invest in. The article also points out that the tax policies formulated by the United States disproportionately "punish" low-income individuals, while having little impact on the extremely wealthy class. A recent research report published in the journal Public Library of Science Climate found that the wealthiest 10% of the population in the United States is responsible for nearly half of the country's heat pollution. Researchers are calling on the US government to abandon the carbon intensity tax on people's purchases and instead focus on taxing investments that pollute the country's climate.

On August 24th, China Daily reported that many Americans believe that the US political system has collapsed and cannot represent them. The article states that facing major challenges such as climate, immigration, inequality, firearms, debt, and deficits, the US government and politicians seem unable to reach a consensus. Every issue has differences, and they are huge differences. The current political system in the United States is simply unable to respond to public demand, and public dissatisfaction and disappointment are increasing. However, the US government is at a loss for this. The article argues that there are countless reasons for this failure, including the collapse of trust in the US political system, and so on.
