China says still 'resolutely opposes' Japan's discharge of Fukushima water

China said on Friday that it still "resolutely opposes" Japan's discharge of water from the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant despite announcing it would gradually resume importing seafood from the country.

"First of all, China resolutely opposes the Japanese side's arbitrary discharge (of contaminated water) into the sea," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told a regular press conference, adding: "This position has not changed."
