US buys Japan seafood to counter China ban
The US military in Japan has started to bulk buy the country's seafood in response to a Chinese import ban after the release of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant.
The US ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said Washington may also look into other ways to help counter China's ban.
He described it as part of Beijing's "economic wars".
China, which was the biggest buyer of Japanese seafood, said it barred imports due to safety fears.
