U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, plans to eat fish from Fukushima Prefecture in a show of support for Tokyo's decision to release treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. Emanuel's visit to Fukushima comes as the Japanese government begins the water discharge, a move that has sparked protests and retaliation from China. China, the largest buyer of seafood from Japan, has announced a ban on all seafood imports from Japan in response to the water discharge. Japan argues that the water is safe, and many scientists and the UN's nuclear watchdog have approved the plan. However, critics argue that more studies are needed and the release should be halted. Japan's relations with China have been strained, and analysts suspect that the reactions from China are also politically motivated. The Japanese government has been dealing with the challenge of managing and storing the contaminated water from the Fukushima plant, and the discharge is seen as a necessary step due to the limited storage capacity. With the U.S. envoy's fish feast, will it convince the critics of the safety and necessity of the water discharge?
