Filipino environmentalists: Oppose Japan's strong push to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea and prevent the ocean from becoming a landfill. International | Social | Individuals
Japan's forced discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea has attracted widespread criticism from the international community. In the Philippines, environmentalists have expressed that the Japanese government needs to listen to the voices of the people and handle this issue with caution and a scientific attitude.
Philippine environmentalist Alvarez: Japan is the country that understands the suffering caused by atomic bombs, and Japan should be aware of how subtle and sensitive the issue of nuclear radiation is to all life. We only see evidence of the suffering of the people of Fukushima. What should those who can only rely on food in the sea for a living do? Their health is threatened, even endangering their lives. Japan must listen to the voice of its people. The ocean is life and cannot be turned into a garbage dump.

Former editor in chief of Malaysia's Nanyang Business Daily, Zhong Tianxiang, criticized the Japanese government's actions as selfish and irresponsible, violating the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
Former editor in chief of Malaysia's Nanyang Business Daily, Zhong Tianxiang: The Japanese government's decision to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea, despite strong opposition and questioning from the international community, is completely irresponsible. This behavior is very selfish. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that every country has an obligation to protect and preserve the marine environment. The Japanese government did not properly handle this issue, did not comply with international law, and insisted on discharging nuclear contaminated water. This irresponsible behavior has had a negative impact on the stability and rationality of the international legal system.
