Korean Precautions of Japanese Imports

After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011, many mass media began warning Fukushima and Japanese products. Therefore, the Korean government has begun to regulate the importation of agricultural products and fishery products from Japan. The Korea Food and Drug Administration announced on May 25, 2013 that it will stop importing certain items from Chiba Prefecture. With this policy, 21 agriculture and total marine products are restricted from imports from 8 states. They also pointed out that if the radioactive material is detected from other items it will strengthen this provision.

The Japanese government on the Korean Peninsula is ordered by the general government. After Japan withdrew from the Korean Peninsula and then Japan surrendered to the Allied Powers at the end of World War II, South Korea, despite the support of the Soviet (Northern) two independent governments and the economic system (Southern) Resumed autonomy. The industrialization of the Korean Peninsula started from the Joseon Dynasty (especially the King, later Emperor, Kaohsiung), but North Korea accelerated under Japanese occupation while being independent.

The response to the Japanese occupation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPR Korea) was initially confused, but later it was integrated into a massive anti-Japanese movement at the end of Japanese rule It was. Initially, the Japanese considered the Korean as an independent entity, theoretically made it possible for Koreans to enjoy the same rights as Japanese, but restrained freedom of speech and other freedom to suppress anti-Japanese emotions (LoC, 2004). However, as the Japanese entered the stage of expansionism before the Second World War, the DPR Korean policy towards the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was to assimilate the Korean people completely. The resistance against the Japanese rule of the DPRK was severely criticized. In the future, most Koreans are beginning to pay attention to protect Korean culture and identity (L.o.C., 2004) in order to gain some retaliation.

Japan-Korea relations have always been dominated by conflict. The conflict between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Japan dates back to the end of the 16th century when Koreans succeeded in repelling the two massive Japanese invasions. After a few centuries Koreans remained relatively isolated, Korea succumbed to Japan's threat in 1875, signed the treaty in 1876 and opened several ports to Japan (LoC, 2004) . In order to alleviate the threat of the Japanese, Korea wanted to protect itself by destroying the power of other countries, opened the door to Western countries.
