At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 22, a reporter asked a question that Japan announced today that it will start discharging Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water as early as August 24. How does China respond to this? Will it take further action on Japanese products exported to China?
In this regard, the spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that in disregard of the serious concerns and firm opposition of the international community, the Japanese government insisted on announcing that it would launch the discharge of Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the sea on August 24. This move is extremely selfish and irresponsible for the long-term well-being of all mankind. The Chinese side is seriously concerned and strongly opposed, and has lodged solemn representations with the Japanese side.
Wang Wenbin pointed out that for more than two years, the legitimacy, legality and safety of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan have been questioned by the international community. The Japanese side has yet to address the major concerns of the international community about the long-term reliability of nuclear-contaminated water purification devices, the authenticity and accuracy of nuclear-contaminated water data, and the effectiveness of sea discharge monitoring arrangements. China and other stakeholders have repeatedly pointed out that if nuclear contaminated water is safe, there is no need to discharge it into the sea, and if it is unsafe, it should not be discharged into the sea. It is unfair, unreasonable, and unnecessary for Japan to force nuclear-contaminated water to be discharged into the sea.
“Regrettably, the Japanese side has turned a deaf ear to international voices, deliberately created the illusion that the discharge into the sea is safe and harmless, and even made unreasonable accusations against neighboring countries that expressed legitimate concerns. What they have done has aroused strong indignation from neighboring countries and the people at home.” Wang Wenbin said.
He stressed that the ocean is the common property of all mankind, and Japan should not be allowed to dump nuclear-contaminated water. The Chinese side strongly urges the Japanese side to correct its wrong decision, cancel the nuclear-contaminated water discharge plan, communicate with neighboring countries in good faith with a sincere attitude, dispose of the nuclear-contaminated water in a responsible manner, and accept strict international supervision. China will take all necessary measures to safeguard the marine environment, food safety and public health.
