M9 Earthquake, Tsunami and Radiation Leak......... 大地震、津波、放射能漏れ

It's been a week after the catastropohic earthquake on March 11.

(See the below link. You can see how much difference between before and after the quake.)
Before and After by sina.com.cn

First, the magnitude 9 earthquake hit Japan's northeastern coast offshore, it unleashed 10m (or 32feet) high giant Tsunami which swept all the cars, houses and, literally, everything!
Not only that, the Tsunami also attacked the nuclear power plant in Fukushima prefecture.  That triggered the explosion and knocked out their cooling systems. Then, radiation leak....
What a chain reaction.... 

Now, everybody is worried about the safety of food and water from the region.
It is difficult to get a right information, specially in outside Japan.
People here in China are going to Hongkong and Macao and buy up all the Japanese products. They are not only worried about the safety of the food but also rise in the price of Japanese items in the future.

Some international 5ster hotels in Hongkong have announced that they stop using all the Japanese product for the time being, in order to protect the safety of their guests' health....

But, think about it... How is it possible that any fresh seafood or vegetables which are potentially contaminated from that region have been exported to any other countries after the earthquake?? All the fishermen from that region have lost their fishing boat and most of the roads were destroyed.

I don't see that they have stopped using Japanese product because they concern about "guest's health".
To me, they are just causing another unnecessary muddle...
