Chinese Visitors flock to Japan for fresh Air and safe Food

‘‘The first thing Chinese people do after they land is to breathe deeply,’’ said He Wenfan, of the Japan Tourism Board’s Chinese language website. ‘‘People say, ‘I can finally breathe!’ ’’

i think that many People are without a Clue about theSituation in Chinas Industrial Areas.

Environmental Topics are a State Secret in China and there are not much People who report about it.

Officals estimate that ca. 650.000 - 1.200.000 People die each Year

670,000 smog-related deaths a year: the cost of China's reliance on coal
...
"The health cost [of the study] is only based on the premature death figures due to the limitations of our research data," said Li. "It could be way higher if we also include medical costs for other chronic illnesses."

The study found that in 2012, more than 70 per cent of the population was exposed to annual PM2.5 pollution levels higher than 35 micrograms per cubic metre, the country's benchmark for healthy air quality.

The World Health Organisation sets its PM2.5 safety limit at an annual concentration of 10mcg/cubic metre. That class of particulate was officially recognised as a human carcinogen last year by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, especially its link to lung cancer and a heightened risk of bladder cancer.

In 2012, some 157 million people in China lived in areas where the annual PM2.5 concentration was higher than 100mcg/cubic metre - 10 times the WHO's recommendation.

A previous study published in British medical journal The Lancet said outdoor air pollution contributed to 1.2 million premature deaths in China in 2010, or 40 per cent of the global total. Former health minister Chen Zhu said this year that pollution caused 350,000 to 500,000 premature deaths a year in China.

The new study - based on research from Tsinghua and Peking universities, the China Academy of Environmental Planning and other government-backed institutes - represents the latest lobbying efforts by some Chinese experts to cap coal consumption.

Safe Food in Japan?

Maybe in some thousand years from now.

they come to nepal also my friend .... why i have no idea lol as the air here is bad but maybe not as bad as china AND a lot closer??

I know that many of the Chinese Tourist want only Shopping and go
to our Disneyland, a few also go for Cultural Heritages!

There are a lot of Low Cost Carrier between Japan and Chins,
the Yen-Wuan Exchange Rate is brilliant and Tourists do not to
pay Taxes for Japanese Goods.

Some People even buy Houses and Appartments in Tokyo
because they (the Chinese) want to put their Money in a safe Place.

@ Nepal,
how many of your Tourists are now from China?

Because i was shocked when i visited Thailand in the last Year,
the majority of the Tourists was Russian, Chinese and European

so how much is an apartment in Tokyo?These must be some wealthy chineses.

This is depending on the Location,
but compared to Shanghai, Hong Kong or Beijing the Prices are relative low, ca. 250.000$ for a 2LDK in a new Appartment (low Cost)

The Difference is that Houses in Japan get rebuild after ca. 25 Years in Average!

I would say 50% from china!! Thats difficult though as MANY nepalis look chinese INC my gf! BUT this is a huge market for chinese tourists as Nepal boASTS Many things a tourist wants... birthplace of buddha & mountain trekking etc..

China burns so much coal, if it's making the air unbreathable in China it's got to be affecting the whole world's air quality. They should be using the same technology US coal plants use, they are stupid they don't have to invent it just buy it from the US it's not that commplicated.

What the fukushima is this about?

Mongolia closer, sounds like bullshit propaganda news

try millions...

Before you spreading Bs-Info you should research the Topic of
Food, Radiation, Accumulation and Contamination
because your Posting is wrong!

The Majority of the Emissions are gone,
decayed and no longer in the Food Chain,
also the Japanese Food Surveillance work very well.

Could this be an untapped tourism market for Hawaii?

Visa Regulation may be a Issue?

Here in Japan they do not need a Visa anymore,
i think also many of them want Snow, the Japanese Ski Areas
are the best in the World and Japan is very easy for the Chinese
because a lot of Information comes in different Chinese Languages.

Ginza, once the Nr.1 Japanese Shopping Area,
is full with Chinese Tourists too.

But they go back home Glowing in the Dark....

How could the majority of emissions be gone when Fukushima is still spewing out toxic radiation contaminants???

Maybe if they eventually stop the leakage and scrape away about 3 feet of the topsoil from Japan, then the land might be habitable. The ocean is a different story. Just because you can't see the radioactive contaminants doesn't mean its not there. Japan's fishing industry is dessimated. They have to go to other waters to fish...

This may help China to save a bit of Energy

FYI: every single Coal Power Plant and Mine release Radioactivity too,
the Level of Radioactivity around a Fossil Plant is higher than from a Nuclear Power Station but only under normal Circumstances

Japan had a very low natural Background Radiation compared to Europe,
Crackerland and Asia, even now (Post-3/11) it is much lower than New York, Paris, Mumbai, Shanghai or Absurdistan.

enjoy the fukushima

They are just stupid.

The communist government is allowing massive pollution in order to bring China into the modern age... and horde "money."

But they fail to understand that they will wreck the Earth's ecosystems on a scale broader than any other country has, due to population size.

Fukushima Daiichi is not "spewing" Radiation all around,
there is a very limited Area (close to the Reactors itself)
where we see very high Radiation but this is made by the Stuff,
when there are no Explosions, Winds or Rain nothing reach the "Outside".

Japan Food & Fish Industry is booming, only ca. 200 Km of our Costal Line
is restricted but we have Thousands of it.

The Ocean around of Japan is fine and Radiation is not detecable anymore
because we have strong Currents here, only the Zone of ca. 5 Km in front
of Daiichi still show detecable Levels!

I wouldn't go there without a Geiger counter.

I thought they went there for Bukkake sessions

Japan is "the" Country with the highest Amount or personal Geiger Counter
and "the" Country with the highest Amount of Official Stations,
all this provide me with enough Security to tell every Ene-Turd that they are wrong!

"Yokoso Nippon"

You are the biggest fuku turd blossom I have ever met. I thought shills were a conspiracy till I kept seeing this guy post. With the random capitalized wording. That's how I know. Someone is surely giving you money to have such a strong bias.

How much more proof do you need that Fukushima radiation is good for you.

I'm sure it won't be long before they start offering steam baths at reactor 4.

I doubt that we ever met and i doubt that you would be able to speak "that" Nasty to me in Rl

When you are unhappy about the low Death Toll here in Japan please write a Letter to the Complainment Office but not to me!

We here give a FU to People like you & your tupid Friends!

If you are a tepco employee, bet your damn ass I'd insult you to your face. I am American and on the West coast of this once beautiful country, are alot of people that must live through the horrors of fuku.

It's the biggest disaster of our time. Don't you know?

We give a Poop about you and your Crackerland.

There was and is no Danger for the West-Coast from our Accident
caused by a Earthquake & Tsunami.

PS: Do you ever think about the People in Bhopal?
(Union Carbide Disaster)
