On May 9, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian said that on May 8, China's General Administration of Customs should have a technical exchange with Japan on the safety of Japanese aquatic products. The two sides had an in-depth exchange of views on how to strengthen the inspection and monitoring of aquatic products to ensure quality and safety. Lin Jian explained that the Chinese side emphasized that whether imports of Japanese aquatic products can be resumed must be based on China's continuous independent sampling and monitoring of a series of scientific data, and that Japan should take effective measures to effectively guarantee the quality and safety of aquatic products, and must meet the requirements of Chinese laws and regulations. The Japanese side stated that it attaches great importance to the concerns of China and the Chinese people, and once again confirms that it will continue to carry out international monitoring of the sea drainage and independent sampling and monitoring of stakeholder countries, and will ensure that Japanese aquatic products exported to China comply with Chinese regulations. “China's position against Japan's unilateral initiation of sea drainage has not changed. We will continue to work with the international community to urge Japan to earnestly fulfill its commitments and ensure that the discharges of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima are always under strict international supervision. This is an effective measure to control the risk of sea drainage.” Lin Jian emphasized.
