Fukushima and the area surrounding it is going to be radioactive for thousands of years. Now the question is, is this affecting China's air, sea, food etc. You don't hear much media coverage about this anymore, yet it's still a HUGE disaster and ongoing problem...

Hey
Actually i dont think you need to worry to much about that. In China you will very rarely be eating food imported from Japan, simply because it is too expensive. If you should happen to eat some japanese products you can be sure that it will be stated on the packaging as a kind of commercial.
i think you should be much more concerned about the general pollution here in china affecting the things we eat. I believe that is a much graver danger to our health than the radiation from fukushima.
I'd say worry makes safe, for cheesus christ's sake!
Back in Tchernobyl, the radiation would travel as far as Spain, and would contaminate the food, to lower extent.
I asked Chinese people if I should eat Japan's high-quality products, because let's admit took the road of quality and excellency in everything they do, but Chinese people would frown and tell me radiation is bad.
Who's to know best than the locals?
So stop getting Japanese stuff and be careful on everything that is geographically near of Japan.
Anyways, I got explained than money wise, it's better to buy lower quality at way cheaper price, because of item renewal.
Ask any Chinese and he will corroborate what i say!
