STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSHONG KONG - Hong Kong has set up a special government team to monitor and review an import ban on some Japanese seafood due to the country's imminent release of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.
Though approved by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, Japan's plan to dump the water has faced opposition at home and abroad, including from China, over worries about food safety. Hong Kong's leader said on Tuesday that he strongly opposed Japan's release of the water into the sea, while Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin called the move"extremely selfish" and that Beijing had lodged a formal complaint with the Japanese government.
Hong Kong's import ban is also due to take effect from Thursday. It covers imported aquatic products from the Japanese regions of Tokyo, Fukushima, Chiba, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Gunma, Miyagi, Niigata, Nagano and Saitama. Hong Kong is Japan's second largest market, after mainland China, for agricultural and fisheries exports. It imported 75.5 billion yen worth of seafood from Japan last year, Japanese data shows.
