In recent news; China banned seafood imports from Japan after raising concern regarding the release of nuclear wastewater from Fukushima.

... but that felt like a red-herring. Perhaps this is related.

That was indeed a red-herring as the water was very diluted. China's probably just throwing another tantrum about Japan's position on Taiwan.

Definitely a tantrum. It's diluted tritium. It's almost a shame to throw it away.

It's hard to tell what the tantrum is really about.

Meanwhile Chinese nuclear plants are doing the same but in significantly larger quantities.

How in the world do you see a relation between China banning Japanese fish and the Japanese space agency continuing to do space exploration?
