MOFCOM BJT

Q: Some media reports claim that the Chinese government has notified Japan of a suspension of aquatic product imports from Japan. Can MOFCOM confirm this? (MOFCOM Regular Press Conference November 20, 2025)

A: I have no information to share at this time. However, I must emphasize that the erroneous remarks by the Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae have sparked strong public outrage in China. Japan cannot expect to benefit from bilateral ties while hurting the Chinese people’s sentiments—this is not the right way to engage with China. We urge Japan to immediately correct its erroneous deeds.
