Japan is set to release another batch of treated nuclear wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi plant into the Pacific Ocean this week, sparking renewed criticism across Asia. Local media reports confirm this will mark the fourth discharge since August 2023, with over 23,000 tonnes already poured into the sea. 💧
CGTN spoke to residents in Indonesia, where concerns are boiling over. 🔥 'This isn’t just Japan’s problem—it’s a global issue,' said one Jakarta local, reflecting fears about contaminated seafood and long-term health risks. Others criticized the move as 'selfish,' urging international bodies to intervene. 🌏
While Japanese authorities insist the water is 'safe,' many Indonesians remain skeptical. 'Our oceans connect us all,' noted a student activist. 'Once it’s in the Pacific, who knows where it’ll end up?' 📉 The debate continues as scientists clash over transparency and environmental impact studies.
