In response to the release, Chinese customs authorities banned seafood from Japan with immediate effect, affecting all imports of “aquatic products” including seafood. Authorities said they will “dynamically adjust relevant regulatory measures to prevent risks of nuclear-contaminated water discharge to the health and food safety” in China.

Hong Kong and Macau said they were banning seafood from Fukushima and nine other Japanese prefectures. North Korea called the release a “crime against humanity”.
