No nuclear fish

It is somewhat reassuring to see that the quality of English in South Korea is about as bad as in Japan. Cool poster though, where can I order some? I can see a movie deal coming up, "Attack of the killer nuke fish" (parts I, II and III)

The story that Japan was considering filing a suit against Korea at the WTO hasn't made it to this site. Much of the public anger in Korea was due to this news:

The Koreans should import fish so that their kids get cancer too?

The Japanese must still be thinking ghat Japan is a colony?

How good would it be to import something that the public would not buy??? Would they be happy to see all the import rot on the shelves? Wouldn't the restaurants that do buy those fish be avoided and see their sales plummet? And most importantly, shouldn't we do the same here, I have lowered my fish consumption drastically, basically to import fish or guaranteed local catch that has no chance of coming from Tohoku, if there was a ban on those catches I would be more inclined to eating at the kaiten sushi around town again.

I'm not suggesting you are defending them, but how on EARTH could Japan possibly expect to win a suit when they are literally dumping THOUSANDS of tonnes of irradiated water into the sea? You must also realize that eventually this radiation will hit the shores of other nations and affect things there.

Japan doesn't need Korea as a business partner.Dear Japan... you have better and less jelly friends.

Like Taiwan, who banned Japanese seafood imports in 2011? Why isn't the same kind of outrage of threat of lawsuit directed at Taiwan?

Japan should be thankful that Korea didn't expand the ban to all Japanese districts, not the several that was banned. South Koreans are half of your foreign customers. Without them, your fish exports will collapse overnight. Does Japan really want to wage a trade war over this? Japan has a lot more to lose than Korea, if Japan insists. Japanese hardly buy anything from Korea, while Koreans buy just about everything from Japan.

If this dude really went over to Korea "demanding" ........... he should be slapped upside the head & sent packing

@GW

The Japanese media are saying "要求", which can be translated as ""demand" or "request", depending on the circumstances. "Request" is definitely better here, you're right.

russia dumped a large amount of radioactive waste of 700 tera Bq into sea of japan in the 90th. the health damage to the residents living along sea of japan didn't happened. I guess this time also nothing will happene.

What exactly is a "Nuke fish"? Would love to know the Korean definition. A scientific definition.
