Japan’s controversial release of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean since August 24 has sparked global concerns—but many in North America and Europe remain completely in the dark. 🚨 CGTN took to the streets in the U.S. to gauge public awareness, and the results were eye-opening: most interviewees had no idea about the ongoing discharge, citing a lack of media coverage. 📺
\"The ocean belongs to everyone. No single country should act like they own it,\" said one New Yorker, visibly shocked after learning about the issue. Others shared fears about long-term health risks and environmental damage, with one LA resident asking, \"Is this another ‘Stranger Things’ situation? Are we all just lab rats now?\" 😰
While local U.S. news outlets stay silent, young activists are urging transparency, calling it a global ecological justice issue. 🌍💧 As one college student put it: \"If the ocean’s in trouble, we’re all in trouble.\"
