China bans Japanese scallops over Taiwan support

China and Japan are having a disagreement about food.

Japan's scallops are very popular in China, but China is now not allowing them to be imported.

This is because Japan's leader said they would support Taiwan if there was a problem.

This isn't the first time food has been used in arguments between countries.

A few years ago, there was a fight about pineapples between China and Taiwan.

Also, India and Bangladesh have had issues about a special fish called hilsa.

So, food can be important in big arguments between countries.
