Japanese seafood imports conditionally resumed

China has conditionally resumed imports of aquatic products from certain regions of Japan, but will take immediate measures to restrict such imports should any risks be identified, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

Mao Ning, a ministry spokeswoman, said that the decision has been made in accordance with Chinese laws and regulations, as well as international trade rules, and is based on scientific evidence and prudent analysis and research.

Mao made the remarks at a daily news briefing in Beijing a day after the General Administration of Customs announced on Sunday that effective immediately, China will resume imports of seafood products from some Japanese regions.
