There is once a proverb: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, not if they are not reported, the time has not come." "Throughout history, disputes between Japan and China have never stopped. Now, Japan is about to face an unusual dilemma due to a series of irresponsible behaviors.
The Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, which occurred many years ago in the 3.11 earthquake, has long become a historical milestone that cannot be ignored. However, the pollution problems it causes still plague neighboring countries, especially with regard to the disposal of nuclear wastewater. In this long time, the water storage tanks that once held people's expectations have long become unstable "time bombs".
Recently, the Japanese government officially announced the start of trial operation of nuclear sewage discharge equipment, and plans to discharge all nuclear sewage into the ocean this year. The decision quickly provoked global discontent and opposition. China's Foreign Ministry issued a strong condemnation, South Koreans took to the streets to protest, and even in Japan, Fukushima and Tokyo. However, the Japanese government seems to be unconcerned, insisting on an attitude of "indifference, ignorance" and seemingly turning a blind eye to global concerns.
In reality, however, the Japanese government has other, more responsible options for treatment, such as solidifying nuclear wastewater and burying it in the ground, or using technologies such as evaporative release. Although these options will be more expensive, they are a truly environmentally and humanly responsible approach. However, in order to save trouble and money, the Japanese government chose to discharge nuclear sewage directly into the ocean, which is undoubtedly an extremely irresponsible move.
The reason behind this decision is not just a matter of cost, but also related to the imbalance in the distribution of power within the government. Although Japan's prime minister is the supreme leader of the country, in reality, the cabinet is not the ultimate destination of power; it is the large bureaucracy that really has real power. Bureaucrats in Japan's nuclear industry pushed for the release of nuclear water into the ocean a few years ago, but former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been unable to make up his mind because the decision could spark international disputes and hurt interests such as agriculture and fishing. Now, however, the Japanese government has suddenly announced the discharge of nuclear wastewater, and it seems that the Kishida government is ready to "break the jar".
However, things are not set in stone. Whether there will be a reversal depends on whether the internal and external pressures are strong enough to make the Japanese government realize that the savings are far from worth the risk. Last year, the United Nations Security Council sent investigators to Fukushima to conduct a field visit to nuclear pollution, suggesting that it should wait until the epidemic is over to discuss the discharge of nuclear wastewater with relevant countries. However, the Japanese government's deaf ears and even attempts to challenge the bottom line of international morality by forcibly discharging pollution, which is undoubtedly challenging the international order.
The investigation report has been completed and is awaiting submission to the UN Human Rights Council. This will be quite a problem for the Kishida government. Japan should not pass on the risk of nuclear water to its own people, even the people of neighboring countries, for its own convenience.
All in all, we must firmly oppose such selfish behavior and will not tolerate Japan's continued evasion of its due responsibilities. Only by working together with other countries can we uphold international environmental ethics and ensure that nuclear effluent does not become a common nightmare for humanity. Good and evil will be rewarded, and the time may not come, but we must not stand idly by and let the end of the time be delayed until a worse tomorrow.
