Japan must sincerely face questions and objections from home and abroad over the government's decision to dump polluted nuclear water into the ocean and stop playing dumb on the issue, China's Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
"The disposal of polluted nuclear water is never Japan's domestic affair. If the polluted nuclear water is not a public hazard, why doesn't Japan keep it for itself?" Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told a daily press briefing, urging the Japanese government to respect the global marine ecosystem and the health and safety of humankind.
