According to the report, China said it needs to monitor water discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was severely damaged during a major earthquake and tsunami in 2011.
Earlier this month Beijing lifted a comprehensive ban on Japanese seafood that had been imposed due to Tokyo's decision two years ago to release treated wastewater from its Fukushima power plant, after multiple discussions.
China's latest decision came just one day after Japanese and Chinese diplomats held discussions over a remark related to Taiwan (China) by Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae; but those discussions reached no result.
