My favorite food is bulk seafood rejected by China over misplaced fears of radioactivity. The half life is how you know it’s fresh.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

misplaced fears of radioactivity.
The half life is how you know it’s fresh.
Would you please make up your mind?
Either way, I lean towards you being right the first time and afaik Japan has some of the absolute best seafood in the world, so China are missing out big-time!
Pretty sure they were making a joke. "The X adds flavor" is an old one at that doesnt even have to be about polution. I remember my uncle cutting himself while making burgers once and some of the blood hitting the grill and saying the same thing.
Who will win this war? Can the US army eat as much seafood as the Chinese population?
I see a Japanese game show in the making! Add some scantily clad women and a sumo wrestler farting in the face of the losers of each round and we have a hit!
There's no way the entire Chinese population is dependent on Japan alone for their seafood.
no, idk why but so many americans are disgusted by fish lol
iT hAs BoNeS iN iT!!!1
Good choice (in flavor, at least; I have no idea the costs involved). Seafood here is fantastic.
I have no doubt that even the fish in Japanese rations is fresher than most of the fresh fish I can get here (northern Europe)
what are you on about, northern Europe is famous for fishing
Yes, but who has the most famous seafood culture? Scandinavia or japan?
We're famous for eating a lot of fish, but not for high quality of it. Japan treats it's tuna like texas treats it's cattle.
We mass fish salmon, cod and plaice and sell it to the rest of Europe at dumping prices.
Japan has good fish, we have lots of fish.
There is something fishy about this.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Unveiling the initiative in a Reuters interview on Monday, U.S. ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said Washington should also look more broadly into how it could help offset China's ban that he said was part of its "economic wars".
Emanuel said the purchases - which will feed soldiers in messes and aboard vessels as well as being sold in shops and restaurants on military bases - will increase over time to all types of seafood.
Emanuel, who was former U.S. President Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, has in recent months made a series of blunt statements on China, taking aim at various issues including its economic policies, opaque decision-making and treatment of foreign firms.
That has come as top U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have visited Beijing in an effort to draw a line under strained ties.
The most recent official youth unemployment data from China, published in July before Beijing said it was suspending publication of the numbers, showed it jumping to a record high of 21.3%.
Emanuel said he was also keeping an eye on how China's leadership responds to the recent death of former Premier Li Keqiang, a reformist who was sidelined by President Xi Jinping.
The original article contains 696 words, the summary contains 204 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why not send some of that sweet sweet surplus Japanese fish over here to the mainland US? Afraid of lowering food prices in general? Screw that. Groceries are still absurdly expensive for us plebs, but sure, send all this food to the military. $800 billion a year clearly isn’t enough to satiate them. Don’t worry about all the civilians who can’t afford their meals.
