TOKYO (AFP): Japan said Tuesday (Aug 29) that harassment being faced by Japanese in China after the release of water from the Fukushima nuclear plant was "extremely regrettable", confirming that a brick was thrown at his country's embassy in Beijing.

Last week, China banned all seafood imports from its neighbour as Japan began releasing treated wastewater from the crippled plant in an operation Tokyo and the United Nation's nuclear watchdog have said is safe.
