China’s customs agency says the plan to discharge treated nuclear-contaminated water from the 2011 disaster in Fukushima into the sea fails to fully reflect expert opinions, with authorities vowing to take all necessary measures to ensure consumer safety.
That’s obviously what you believe, so I don’t see any point arguing further. Wake me up when there’s a nuclear outbreak in China that actually happens though.
And then what, you think that I’d take pleasure in that, while sitting at the front row, with the satisfaction to say that “I told you so”?
That’s a weird direction to take things in. I’m simply pointing out that China has a pretty good safety record when it comes to use of nuclear energy, and it’s one of the biggest users of nuclear globally. So, this narrative you’re painting doesn’t seem to really hold up in face of that.
And I’m not denying that political games between Japan and China are going on as they are everywhere in the world. I’m just pointing out that I would personally be happy with my government avoiding food from a place where nuclear waste was discharged recently. Even if the risks are claimed to be low, no risk at all is obviously better.
