Discover: Bluefin Tuna Is Still on the Menu: Trade Ban Fails at International Summit.

“Privately, European diplomats expressed frustration that Japan, which consumes 80 per cent of the bluefin tuna caught, was able to cement opposition to the ban while the EU’s 27 member states were thrashing out their internal disputes [Financial Times]. The Christian Science Monitor, however, interviewed Japanese residents who say the fact that the bluefin is getting more attention than other troubled fish is partly because of building anti-Japan sentiment, pointing to the Toyota public shaming and the controversy connected to the documentary The Cove, which shone the spotlight on an annual dolphin hunt.”  Anti-Japan?  Good lord, I’ll take a dozen Japanese products over even a tenth of a Chinese one.  Perhaps there are some dinosaurs inside the Beltway who might feel this way, but if they do, they’re ignoring that most “Japanese” autos are assembled over here these days.
