The Japanese business community in Taipei on Friday lamented over Taiwan's continued ban on food imports from five Japanese prefectures imposed in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster.
In its annual white paper, the Taipei branch of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the Japanese business community in Taipei is disappointed that the issue has been manipulated into a "political problem."
"We are deeply disappointed and think it's extremely dangerous that the (Taiwan) government continues the ban without any support of scientific evidence," it said.
