Zhao Lijian: Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water disposal problem is definitely not a Japanese housework

  In response to a scholar’s ​​point that “as the neighboring countries that bear the brunt of the sewage from Japan’s nuclear accident, China, South Korea and other countries have every right to claim compensation from Japan.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on April 23 that Japan must sincerely face these issues at home and abroad. Questioning and disagreeing, can no longer continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"The disposal of nuclear contaminated water in Fukushima, Japan is definitely not a domestic affair for Japan. If the nuclear sewage is not polluted, why doesn't Japan keep it for itself?" He said that if Japan insists on overriding its own private interests over international public interests, it insists on doing so. Taking the dangerous first step, the Japanese people will not agree, neighboring countries will not agree, and the international community will not agree. The Japanese government will also pay the price for its irresponsible behavior, leaving a stain on history.
