Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The US should stop favoring Japan. The US Ambassador to Japan stated that China's opposition to Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea is "economic coercion"
On September 22, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, and the US Ambassador to Japan said that China's response to the discharge of pollutants into the sea is "economic coercion", and he also said that China is creating a series of conflicts with neighboring countries. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
Mao Ning stated that China has repeatedly expressed its position on the issue of Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea. Japan's forced discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the ocean has been unprecedented since the peaceful use of nuclear energy by humanity, and the international community is generally concerned about this. The measures taken by the Chinese side are reasonable, reasonable, and legal.
Mao Ning pointed out that the United States is a Pacific coastal country and has always boasted about valuing nuclear safety and environmental protection. US officials should stop favoring and condoning Japan's irresponsible behavior, and work with all parties to urge Japan to stop discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea and dispose of it responsibly.
