“This is a sign of a chaotic government in crisis, whose failing approach means all they have left is tough talk and cruel and callous policies. The shadow immigration minister, Stephen Kinnock, told the i: “The idea that painting over murals and removing entertainment for unaccompanied children in immigration centres will somehow stop the boats is utterly absurd. Jenrick issued the instruction to paint over the mural in April. Some of the lone children arriving in the UK are as young as nine, the Home Office recently disclosed. The Kent intake unit (KIU) is a reception centre for unaccompanied child asylum seekers. The story was first reported in the i newspaper. Home Office sources declined to comment to the Guardian on the claims that staff had opposed Jenrick’s instruction.
In China, some consumers have called for boycotts of Japanese products, a social media trend that briefly knocked the share price of Japanese cosmetics maker Shiseido (4911.T) last week.Staff at the reception centre for small boats arrivals in Kent were horrified by the order, and opposed to painting over the murals. South Korea, where consumers have been snapping up sea salt and other items ahead of the release, has also pledged to step up monitoring to try and allay concerns but has not threatened to expand its bans on Japanese products. The China-ruled city of Hong Kong said on Tuesday that when Japan begins the release it would "immediately take control measures, including imposing import control on aquatic products from high-risk prefectures".Ĭhina has said it will step up monitoring of the ocean and marine products in the wake of the release.
China buys more than half of all Japanese scallop exports.
The vast majority of seafood caught by Japan's fishing industry is consumed at home but China was the biggest buyer of Japanese seafood exports last year by value despite its bans, according to Japanese data.Ĭhina accounted for 22.5% of Japanese seafood exports, worth 87 billion yen ($604 million), followed by Hong Kong with 19.5% and the U.S. Seafood imports from other prefectures are allowed but must be tested for radioactivity. Japan's foreign ministry declined to comment on the possibility of more bans but said Japan had sought scientific discussions with China on the release and would continue to do so.Ĭhina bans seafood imports from 10 of Japan's 47 prefectures, including Fukushima and the capital Tokyo, and all food and feed imports from nine of them.
