what opinions do the Chinese have on this issue?
Wang Wenbin: We have noticed relevant reports and are concerned about it.
In the face of continued opposition from the international community and the Japanese people, the Japanese government has not yet commented on the legitimacy of the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water discharge plan, the reliability of nuclear-contaminated water data, the effectiveness of purification devices, and the uncertainty of environmental impacts. A full and credible statement of the problem.
Recently, the IAEA technical working group visited Japan twice for on-the-spot investigation, and raised a series of questions to the Japanese side. The assessment on the disposal and regulatory arrangements of the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is still in progress.
The Japanese side has turned a deaf ear to the concerns of all parties, hastily pushed forward preparations for the discharge of nuclear-polluted water into the sea, and forced the approval process of the plan to discharge the sea. It is very irresponsible to try to create an established fact.
We once again urge the Japanese side to pay attention to the legitimate and legitimate concerns of the international community and the Japanese people, and to fully consult with stakeholders, including neighboring countries, and relevant international institutions, to find a proper solution to nuclear-contaminated water, rather than sticking to and forcing it. Exhaust plan.
Before that, Japan is not allowed to initiate the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea without authorization.
