After 55 minutes of talks between China and Japan, Japan demanded that the ban be lifted, and the Chinese side would be an anti-general, and if it could not be done, it would be exempted from talks. What are the main issues of the 55-minute talks between the Chinese and Japanese foreign ministers? Japan asked China to lift the ban, how did China "oppose the army"?
On September 23, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Japan Foreign Minister Yoko Uekawa held an important bilateral meeting, which aimed to further explore and promote the stability and development of Sino-Japanese relations. The 55-minute talks were held during which Japan Foreign Minister Yoko Uekawa specifically mentioned the issue of nuclear-contaminated water and stressed that the two sides should actively negotiate and seek an appropriate solution. In addition, she once again asked China to lift the ban on the issue of "China's import restrictions on Japan's seafood."
In response to Yoko Kamikawa's mention of the issue of nuclear-contaminated water, Minister Wang Yi reiterated the Chinese government's position that it firmly opposes Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea. Foreign Minister Wang Yi made it clear that since Japan has agreed to accept a long-term international monitoring arrangement and independent sampling and monitoring by interested countries, including China, it should do what it says and not make a fuss. Obviously, in the face of Japan's demands and concerns, China's intention is also very clear, that is, the Japanese side will first meet China's demands and then put forward conditions, otherwise the Japanese side will not be able to do so, so there will be no talks.
In fact, the reason why China is so strong, and even "counters the army" against Japan, is that the problem of Japan's nuclear sewage discharge into the sea is really serious. Although Japan has recently finally made a compromise on this issue, there are still many obstacles and difficulties in resolving this issue once and for all. Judging from the concessions made by the Japanese side, the Chinese side has the right to supervise and demand the Japanese side on the issue of "discharging nuclear sewage into the sea".
On September 20, China and Japan reached an important consensus on the issue of discharging nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea, the most notable of which is that Japan will accept long-term international monitoring of nuclear-contaminated water, and China and other interested countries will conduct independent sampling. This news marks a breakthrough between China and Japan on this sensitive issue.
The consensus reached this time is the result of long, intensive and arduous consultations between China and Japan, and reflects the firm position and pragmatic spirit of China's diplomacy. More importantly, this consensus has not changed China's stance against the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, but has provided a new way to effectively monitor Japan's actions.
Of course, reaching consensus is only the first step, and the key lies in subsequent implementation. The Japanese side needs to abide by the content of the consensus, allow all stakeholders to participate in long-term international monitoring, and ensure the transparency and accuracy of data. China will continue to play an active role in effectively supervising and restraining Japan's discharge into the sea through independent sampling and monitoring.
First of all, let's understand that independent sampling monitoring is key to ensuring the credibility of the data. The participation of China and other stakeholders can directly supervise the monitoring process, enhance the accuracy and credibility of data, and ensure the safety of marine ecology and public health. If the data is found to be unsatisfactory during the monitoring, corresponding measures will be taken according to the situation. If the data near the discharge port is not qualified, the Japanese side will be asked to adjust the discharge plan. If the data in the surrounding waters is not up to standard, the Japanese side will be asked to stop the discharge. These measures will be based on scientific data to ensure the rationality and effectiveness of decision-making, so that the Japanese side will have no room for quibble.
The reason why the Japanese side has relaxed its grip on this issue is also based on the consideration of multiple factors. On the one hand, Japan has encountered tremendous pressure from its own domestic and international communities on the issue of discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea. In particular, the resolute opposition and ongoing struggle of China and other countries have forced Japan to re-examine its decision-making. At the same time, by establishing long-term international monitoring arrangements and allowing stakeholder countries to independently take samples for monitoring, Japan can improve the transparency and credibility of its emissions behavior, thereby alleviating the concerns and doubts of the international community.
This decision is not only conducive to Japan's image of responsibility in the international community, but also to the stability and development of its domestic economy. Of course, to get back to the point, only policies that are implemented in place are good policies, and only promises that have been fulfilled can be called "true performance". If the Japanese side keeps this consensus in words, then it will be difficult for China to lift the restrictions based on the consideration of people's lives and the marine ecological environment.
