【Introduction】
Japan's nuclear effluent discharge sparked international controversy, and the South Korean government unexpectedly took sides, and Yoon Seok-yue proposed a summit between China, Japan and South Korea. This article will delve into the story behind this chain of events and the reactions of countries.

After leaving, it has been discharged for 14 consecutive days, accumulatively discharging more than 3,800 tons of nuclear sewage into the ocean.
However, as early as when Japan submitted its plan for nuclear sewage discharge to the sea, the mainland raised stern objections to this, but the Japanese government insisted on going its own way and did not take the mainland's opposition to heart at all.
While the Japanese government was still busy because of the Chinese ban, the South Korean government chose to side with Japan and did two major things to support Japan, and even publicly shouted China.
So what exactly did South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue do? And what is he shouting at China for?
On the day that Japan discharged nuclear sewage, the mainland customs intensified the inspection of the scores of imported goods, and even completely banned the import of Japanese aquatic products into the mainland.
As soon as the mainland ban was issued, the pot exploded in Japan instantly.
You know, China is the country with the largest export of Japanese aquatic products except the United States, and it can be said that 1/4 of Japan's aquatic products are exported to China.
This time, due to the discharge of Japanese nuclear sewage into the sea, China banned the import of Japanese aquatic products for the life and health of Chinese citizens, which led to serious losses to the Japanese fishery industry.
Seeing this, the Japanese government began to call out China internationally, asking them to lift the ban on the import of Japanese seafood products.
Moreover, in order to prove that Fukushima seafood products are not harmful, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida led the government to Fukushima to hold a press conference, and even directly ate "Fukushima seafood" in public at the press conference.
The Japanese government saw its own actions, and instead of lifting the ban from China, the Japanese government imposed more severe sanctions.
Seeing this, the Japanese government tore off its pretense and decided to appeal China to the WTO.
What people did not expect was that the Japanese Government went so far as to demand that the WTO uphold justice for Japan on the grounds that China's ban on the import of Japanese aquatic products not only affects normal economic and trade exchanges between countries around the world, but also causes major losses to the Japanese economy, and that China's suppression of Japan has caused the Japanese people to live in poverty.
It can be said that the mainland directly hammered the blow and launched a strong counterattack against Japan's decision to appeal China to the WTO.
And just after China imposed sanctions on Japan, countries around the world also responded to the sanctions against Japan.
Just when the Japanese government was anxious about this, South Korea suddenly spoke out to side with Japan and did two major things to this end.
While China and Japan were still confronting over the nuclear sewage issue, South Korea suddenly jumped out to justify Japan.
You must know that since the discharge of nuclear sewage on August 24, many countries in the world have successively imposed sanctions on Japan, and in the voice of sanctions, South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue jumped out to publicly whitewash Japan internationally.
Later, Yoon Seok-yue even said that South Korea would fight to the end against the evil forces that spread rumors about Japan.
However, just after Yoon's inappropriate remarks, they instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the South Korean people, so they ran to the streets and began to march, seriously protesting the inappropriate remarks of the South Korean government and inaction in the face of nuclear pollution.
You know,
South Korea is very close to Japan, and it can be said that Japan discharges nuclear water, and South Korea is the first country to be affected besides Japan.
Moreover, South Korea has a very small land area and few resources, so the land available for growing crops in the country is very scarce.
This time Japan discharges nuclear sewage, and South Korea's aquaculture industry will be seriously affected.
It stands to reason that in addition to condemning Japan's actions internationally, the South Korean government should also vigorously counter Japan's wrongdoing to protect the lives and safety of the Korean people.
However, what people did not expect was that while people around the world were condemning Japan, the South Korean government stood up and supported Japan's behavior.
Even in order to prove that Japan's nuclear sewage discharge is not harmful to the ocean, he personally took the lead in tasting "Fukushima seafood products".
In order to whitewash Japan, the South Korean government can be said to have done everything it can, even to the point of shamelessness and bottomlessness.
The reason why South Korea has gone to great lengths to whitewash Japan is mainly to curry favor with the United States and accelerate the establishment of a military alliance between the United States, Japan and South Korea.
And Yin Xiyue also knew that the United States had issued an order to ban the import of Japanese aquatic products, but the situation on the Korean Peninsula at this time was very tense, and Yin Xiyue did not have enough strength and courage to solve the dilemma on the Korean Peninsula.
While South Korea's Yoon Seok-yue is doing his best to whitewash Japan internationally, he can't wait to shout at China and demand the resumption of the China-Japan-South Korea summit.
The so-called Trilateral Summit is a forum held by China, Japan and South Korea since 2008, the main purpose of which is to establish a "China-Japan-Korea Free Trade Area", which has not been held for three years due to the new crown epidemic and the deterioration of relations between China, Japan and South Korea due to historical factors.
The purpose of Yin Xiyue's proposal to reopen the China-Japan-South Korea summit is also clear, that is, to use this summit to act as a peacemaker between China and Japan.
But now that Japan has begun to launch a plan to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea, which undoubtedly touches China's bottom line, it is not easy to get China and Japan to sit down and negotiate.
Moreover, before Japan discharged nuclear sewage, the heads of state of the United States, Japan and South Korea had already held talks and decided to form a military alliance, and Japan had publicly stated that Japan's discharge of nuclear sewage was supported by the United States.
Therefore, under such circumstances, even if the China-Japan-ROK summit is resumed, I am afraid that it will not achieve any substantive results.
China ignored South Korea's shouts, knowing that South Korea's proposal to reopen the China-Japan-South Korea summit was to save its reputation by removing itself from the condemnation of nuclear sewage.
For Japan wants to put China on
