As a student that's been living in Tokyo for a while, I wish people had a greater understanding of what this is all about... First of all, those familiar with Japanese policy-making in any area, they are still highly nationalistic-thinking, they make fun of the other guy to draw attention away from their own problems... Japanese-made dumpling were subject to just as much pesticides as the Chinese import. This is highly relatable to Japan's beef markets. They restrict cattle from the States because of the single Mad Cow positive a few years ago, yet Japanese beef is far more contaminated on the whole. Just look at their history, Minamata disease, etc etc... the list goes on. Not saying the others are faultless, but rather Japan simply puts the magnifying glass anywhere besides themselves.
