China refutes US’ accusation of ’economic coercion’ on Fukushima water release

Reuters: The US Ambassador to Japan has called China’s reaction to the Fukushima water release “economic coercion” and said that China is creating a ring of conflicts with its neighbors. What is your comment on this? Mao Ning: China has made clear its position on Japan’s ocean discharge of nuclear-contaminated water on multiple occasions. There is no precedent for such discharge since humanity began using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The international community is widely concerned over this. The measures China has adopted are justified, reasonable and legitimate.  The US, a Pacific-rim country, always claims to champion nuclear safety and security and environmental protection. The US personnel concerned needs to stop being partial and condoning Japan’s irresponsible behavior, and ask Japan to stop dumping the nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean and dispose of it in a responsible manner. __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
