At 9:56 a.m. on August 27, another 4.5 magnitude earthquake struck the sea east of Chiba Prefecture, Japan. According to Japanese media, the earthquake was felt obviously, with a focal depth of 40 kilometers. In addition, this is already the fifth earthquake in Japan in three days.
In the aftermath of those earthquakes, there was no concern or sympathy for Japan in the international community. Even some netizens bluntly said, "This is all Japan's retribution!" ”
The reason why everyone has such a reaction is because Japan has officially launched the "nuclear sewage discharge into the sea" plan on August 24. In the next 30 years, they will discharge more than 2 million tons of nuclear water in the Pacific Ocean, which will have an irreversible adverse impact on the earth's ecology.
Look only at the interests, ignore the principles
In fact, as early as the spring of 2021, then Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga "boldly" proposed a plan to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea. However, as soon as this news broke, it immediately aroused strong opposition from all surrounding countries. Even some residents of Japan find the plan frustrating.
However, in the minds of Japanese politicians at that time, Suga's plan was simply "forward-looking". Even the Liberal Democratic Party in his home country won a lot of political financial support, which also gave the Japanese government a shot in the arm that was affected by the epidemic at that time.
As for why politicians are so enthusiastic about the plan, it is ultimately due to economic considerations. When the Fukushima nuclear power plant was first built, Japan first designed and built a 1,300-ton water storage tank. However, after the 2011 nuclear power plant leak, nearby unaffected groundwater began to flow back into the station, which also led to an increase in the amount of nuclear wastewater in the nuclear power plant.
Faced with this dilemma, the Japanese government is also faced with a dilemma, which needs nuclear reactors to work properly and is unwilling to come up with budget funds to expand water storage tanks. As a result, the expansion of the water storage tanks at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has been inconclusive.
By early 2022, Fukushima's nuclear wastewater storage had peaked and there was no room for expansion. In the past three years, the epidemic has also greatly affected Japan's economy. Because the entire country is heavily indebted, it is more difficult to spend more of its budget on treating nuclear wastewater.
This year, Japan has simply put up a rotten posture and prepared to directly discharge all these nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, which not only solves the nuclear crisis in the Fukushima area, but also saves a lot of financial expenditure for its own country.
However, this most cost-effective plan will cause indelible damage to the world's marine ecosystems. Even for hundreds of years to come, all marine life will be forced to pay for Japan's action.
After Fukushima officially launched its emissions plan on the 24th, Japan suffered five earthquakes in just three days. It seems that in the depths of the underworld, nature has made its attitude clear through disaster: Japan will be punished by heaven for doing so.
However, what is strange is that in the face of the common catastrophe of mankind, Western countries have collectively lost their voice, do they really want to be so indulgent with Japan, not afraid that the future will affect their own ecological environment?
The world is as black as a crow
As early as 1994, the United Nations General Assembly had clearly adopted a resolution on nuclear pollution: "No country shall prohibit the dumping of radioactive materials into the ocean." However, in the face of Japan's nuclear sewage discharge incident, European and American countries have collectively silenced, making the resolution a dead letter.
As for the reason behind it, it is actually very simple, because Japan, Britain and the United States and other countries have long been grasshoppers on a rope, and they even do not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of all mankind for the sake of the so-called alliance of interests.
Since the end of World War II, Japan has been the most loyal lackey of the United States in Asia, and whether in the political or military fields, the United States needs Japan to act as a pawn for itself.
Therefore, in the face of this incident, the first reaction of the United States is to "protect the short". In order to retain this so-called ally, they prefer to sacrifice the marine environment in order to leave Japan a "back door" for the discharge of nuclear sewage. In addition to the United States, the economic development of France and Britain in recent years has not been good, and they can only firmly follow the big brother of the United States, and dare not have other ideas.
In addition, Western countries have always had unclean hands and feet on the issue of nuclear pollution. Both the United States and France have conducted nuclear tests without any protective measures, and they have also had a bad impact on the world's ecological environment.
Now, if they make accusations against Japan, they are admitting their past mistakes in disguise. From this point of view, they can only collectively silence it, otherwise they will let the world see the joke.
Epilogue:
The mainland reacted quickly to the incident of Japan's discharge of nuclear sewage. Not only has it been protesting in the international community, but it has also suspended seafood imports to Japan for the first time. Although we cannot stop Japan from doing evil, we have also shown our own attitude.
It is hoped that Japan can restrain itself from the precipice at an early date and stop its nuclear sewage discharge program. This not only gives the world's marine life a respite, but also leaves a chance for future generations to thrive.
