Starting Aug. 24, Japan began releasing nuclear wastewater into the ocean from Fukushima. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been vigorously promoting the idea that this poses a danger, causing panic and distress in the Chinese seafood industry. However, some Japanese sushi restaurants in Hong Kong continue to see long queues, leading to praise from the Japanese embassy for “rational Hong Kong consumers.”

In a historic summit, the United States, Japan, and South Korea recently constructed a “Mini-NATO” framework. Some analysts suggest that the CCP’s promotion of the nuclear wastewater issue is a countermeasure against Japan. Furthermore, the CCP faces domestic and international challenges and may attempt to divert public attention.

Japan’s Environmental Ministry Announces No Tritium in 11 Seawater Sampling Locations

The safety of Japan’s plan to release nuclear wastewater from Fukushima has been approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Moreover, many Chinese nuclear power plants along the coast release nuclear wastewater into the ocean. According to official Chinese data, the annual tritium emissions from several Chinese nuclear power plants are several times higher than those from Fukushima.
