A: Hey there! Got any scoop on what's going on recently?
B: Not really, what's up?

A: Well, it looks like our PM, Takaichi Sanae, made some comments about Taiwan that didn't sit well with China. Now they're saying they might stop importing Japanese seafood again!

B: Oh no, they just started taking it again after a two-year break! What happened this time?

A: Seems like Japan promised to make sure the seafood is safe for export, but we didn't provide the needed technical materials. That's what China is upset about. They say our seafood won't even find a market in their country now.

B: That sounds tricky... I hope they sort it out soon.

A: Yeah, me too! Our Chief Cabinet Secretary, Kihara Minoru, said we'll keep asking China to let our seafood exports happen and re-register related facilities. He also wants them to lift the import bans from ten prefectures.

B: That's a lot of pressure they're putting on China! But it seems like China is pretty serious about this...

A: You bet! Beijing even mentioned concerns about treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. They say we need to work harder to reduce tritium levels before releasing it into the ocean.

B: Wow, that sounds tough. I guess our government will have to find a solution soon to fix things with China...

A: Exactly! Our Foreign Ministry's Masaaki Kanai just met with Takaichi and spoke with his Chinese counterpart about this issue in Beijing. He even protested against some comments by the Chinese consul-general in Osaka.

B: That sounds intense, I hope everything gets resolved peacefully...

A: Me too! If we don't retract our PM's remarks or keep making mistakes, China might take "stern and resolute" measures against us. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a smooth resolution!
