According to Reuters on August 9th, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on August 9th stating that China and Russia have submitted three joint technical questionnaires to Japan based on international good practices in science, technology, and nuclear safety, questioning Japan's plan to discharge into the sea.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated that if Japan truly has the sincerity to address the concerns of neighboring countries, it should immediately cease its strong push for sea discharge plans and fully discuss all possible security measures.

In addition, according to a report on the website of the Russian Sputnik News Agency on August 9, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China said that Japan was considering launching the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea from late August to mid September, and China has always opposed Japan's forced discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea, transferring the risk of nuclear pollution to the world.

According to the report, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, "The Japanese government should fully respond to the concerns of the international community, fulfill its moral and legal obligations, stop the forced discharge plan into the sea, dispose of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water with a genuine and responsible attitude and in a safe and effective manner, and accept strict international supervision to avoid irreparable harm to the global marine ecology and human health. China's above position is objective, fair, and well founded, not only to protect the health of the people, but also to maintain the security of the global marine environment."

The spokesperson stated that China has always expressed concerns to Japan based on science and facts. China has conducted exchanges with Japan through bilateral and multilateral channels, repeatedly expressing the opinions and concerns of its professional departments.

According to reports, the Japanese government hopes to provide China with an explanation of the safety of sea discharge before it starts. The spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that ensuring the safety of nuclear contaminated water disposal relies on a serious and responsible attitude and scientific and comprehensive argumentation, rather than public relations lobbying everywhere. Unfortunately, for over two years, the Japanese side has ignored the reasonable concerns and opposition of all parties, strongly promoted the plan to discharge into the sea, refused to discuss other safety disposal plans, and insisted on launching the discharge into the sea this summer.

The spokesperson stated that if Japan truly has sincerity in addressing the concerns of neighboring countries, it should immediately stop the strong push for sea discharge plans, engage in exchanges without preset results, and fully discuss all possible safety disposal plans. Otherwise, the so-called "explanation" loses its meaning.

In addition, according to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" on August 9th, China has submitted a document to the United Nations targeting Japan's Fukushima nuclear contaminated water, questioning Japan's plan to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea from multiple aspects such as legality and data authenticity, and demanding that Japan fully respond to international concerns and stop promoting related plans.

According to the official website of the Chinese Permanent Mission to the United Nations and other international organizations in Vienna on the 9th, the Chinese delegation submitted a work paper on the disposal of nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident to the first preparatory meeting of the 11th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
