Beijing-Sana
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wan Wangbin called on Japan to reverse its wrong decision to discharge radioactive wastewater from the currently disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the Pacific Ocean and stop all preparations for it.
"The Pacific rim countries, including China, are deeply concerned about the Japanese company's decision to prepare for drilling work to construct an undersea tunnel outlet one kilometer from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to discharge polluted water," stressing that it "strongly opposes such practices."
"Regardless of the concern of the international community, the company reneged on its previous promise to never drain the water unless the decision received public support as the related construction work was forcefully pushed," Wan Wang explained, noting that "such an attempt to create a fait accompli is an unfair attempt." responsible and the Japanese government should stop it immediately.”
"So far, the Japanese government has not been able to provide a comprehensive and convincing explanation of some issues ranging from the legality of the option to discharge water into the ocean to the reliability of relevant data, the effectiveness of the treatment system and the uncertainty of environmental impact," Wan Wang noted.
