The Seafood Proxy Battle Between China And Japan

Last year, in the midst of a political spat between China and Japan, China enacted a ban on importing Japanese seafood and warned Chinese citizens that visiting Japan was unsafe. But the impact of these policies hasn’t been quite what China intended. This week Dan visits Tsukiji Market in Tokyo with reporter Kurumi Mori , then eats at one of Beijing’s many sushi restaurants with local food experts Weihang Li and Jason Tang , to explore the surprising ways people in both countries are adapting.
