Japan’s plan to discharge another 7,800 tonnes of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi plant into the Pacific Ocean in February 2024 has sparked fresh concerns worldwide 🌏. With over 23,000 tonnes already released since August 2023, residents in New Zealand are adding their voices to the growing call for international accountability.
CGTN Stringers hit the streets of Christchurch 🏙️, where locals emphasized the need for Japan to prioritize dialogue. One resident stated, \"Countries shouldn’t act alone—this affects us all.\" Others stressed collaboration with neighboring nations to address environmental risks. 🌱
As tensions ripple across the Pacific, the debate highlights a universal truth: in our interconnected world, one nation’s choices can become everyone’s business. 💬 Will Japan’s next move deepen divides or inspire global solutions?
