Commentary: Mitsuo Ohashi Criticizes 'Unfounded Remarks Hurt Japan' — Why Must Taiwanese Import Nuclear-Contaminated Food?

This article responds to Mitsuo Ohashi, Chairman of the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, who criticized Taiwan's 'unfounded remarks' about food from Japanese nuclear disaster areas as 'hurting the Japanese people.' The author asks why Taiwanese must be obligated to import Fukushima food with potential safety concerns, emphasizing this as a right of the Taiwanese people and an act of scientific humility. The author suggests Japan should export food from other regions to Taiwan and consume Fukushima food internally. Finally, the piece links the issue to the comfort women controversy, demanding an apology from Ohashi first and questioning if the Japanese intend to continue their 'century-long oppression of Taiwanese.'
