Li Jiachao pointed out that the Japanese government's unprecedented decision and practice of discharging a large amount of nuclear wastewater into the sea, which has lasted for thirty years, disregards the risks to food safety that cannot be eliminated and the irreparable pollution and damage to the marine environment. It is irresponsible to impose its own problems on others, and strongly opposes this.
