The future view of Japnese products

The Japanese government wants to spread the highly radioactive contaminated materials around the country so that all regions get the damage equally. It helps to reduce the polarized damages near Fukushima and TEPCO's crime won't be claimed through the actual data.

Is this good for Japan? The answer is no.

Basically, the result helps to increase the health risk around the Japan relatively even. However, that means the foreigners trying to visit Japan must take the health risk of eating or drinking or even purchasing the radioactive contaminated products. There is no clear policy for health risk of the travelers. Say, if someone travel across Chernobyl, that person would get certain warnings as the area is not for tresspassing. Japanese government did not do such even for the hotspots around Tokyo. It's already Chernobyl Level 3 amount of contamination.

Moreover, the Japanese products are produced based on the functionality yet the safety measure went behind. If you purchase a Japanese pen, it might have cesium contamination in the material. You could use the one from China or Mexico with less radioactive contamination. What if it is a camera or a computer? If you buy more Japanese products and surrounded with them, you are making the environment with radioactive contaminated goods. In a long run, you never know what will happen to your kids or your family members. It's like eating Sushi with Japanese rice for a long time. It got contamination and eating increase the internal exposure to the radioactive material. There are only few options to reduce the exposure once it's taken into one's body.

Anything with Fukushima as the place of product got bad images. The future would be anything that comes with Made in Japan tag will get certain bad images. Who is responsible? Of course, the Japanese government.
