China imposed a broad ban on the import of Japanese seafood. Will the ban be loosened? This market resolves YES if any of the currently banned Japanese seafoods are allowed again in China before 2025.
I will resolve this based on English newspapers in China or Japan.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/27/business/japan-fukushima-water-china-import-ban-intl-hnk/index.html it is difficult to predict with certainty whether China will allow the import of Japanese seafood in 2024. The current ban on Japanese seafood by China is a response to Japan's decision to release treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. The situation is politically charged, with China expressing anger and accusing Japan of acting selfishly and irresponsibly.
The public sentiment in China seems strongly against Japan's actions, with calls for a boycott and widespread anger on social and traditional media. The Chinese government has framed the ban as a measure to prevent the risk of radioactive contamination in food, emphasizing concerns about public safety.
Whether the ban continues into 2024 will depend on various factors, including diplomatic negotiations between the two countries, scientific assessments of the treated water's safety, and any measures Japan might take to address China's concerns.
In my view, this issue reflects the complex intersection of environmental concerns, international relations, and public sentiment. Resolving it will likely require transparent communication, scientific collaboration, and diplomatic efforts to find a mutually acceptable solution that ensures the safety of imported seafood.
