The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made solemn representations to the Japanese side regarding the harassment suffered by the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in Japan
On August 29th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked that the Japanese Foreign Minister said today that someone threw bricks at the Japanese Embassy in China. He expressed great regret and concern about this and urged the Chinese side to call on the public to remain calm on the issue of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge. Will China appeal to the public to handle this matter calmly?
Wang Wenbin stated that China has responded to Japan's so-called concerns, expressed a solemn stance, and made solemn representations regarding the harassment suffered by the Chinese embassy and consulate in Japan.
Wang Wenbin emphasized that China has always ensured the safety and legitimate rights and interests of foreigners in China in accordance with the law. The Japanese government ignored the strong questioning and opposition from the international community and unilaterally initiated the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear accident, which has aroused strong indignation among people of all countries. This is the root cause of the current situation. If Japan's strong push to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea is based on science, why is the opposition within Japan still difficult to quell?
Wang Wenbin pointed out that China and other stakeholders have the right and responsibility to take legitimate, reasonable, and necessary preventive measures in response to Japan's extreme selfishness and irresponsible wrong behavior, to maintain marine environmental safety, food safety, and the physical health of the people. What Japan needs to do is to immediately correct its mistakes and stop the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea, rather than the opposite.
