China’s customs agency says the plan to discharge treated nuclear-contaminated water from the 2011 disaster in Fukushima into the sea fails to fully reflect expert opinions, with authorities vowing to take all necessary measures to ensure consumer safety.
I don’t live in China, but I’m perfectly aware of the political dynamics between Japan and China. None of that changes the fact that Japan discharging nuclear waste into the ocean is a legitimate reason for avoiding seafood from Japan. It’s honestly kind of impressive the amount of effort you’re spending here trying to paint this as something other than that.
I asked earlier a restaurant/pub table neighbour if he knew about not getting seafood from Japan, he was only surprised that it wasn’t banned already. Except maybe for some body care products, you don’t ever see anything being advertised as coming from Japan or being culturally associated with Japan, that draws customers anger. Propaganda running new reasons to hate on Japan is business as usual.
Absolutely, as soon China can bring evidence that safe levels of radiation as assessed by an independent international organization represent a safety risk to their people. For some, oh, color me surprised, unbelievable reason they didn’t.
Yeah, imagine erring on the side of caution. Again, impressive amounts of work you’re putting into spinning this as a nefarious plot of some sort.
yep, erring on the side of caution regarding nuclear safety levels, that sounds totally like China, as we saw no later than two years ago at Taishan. Sure.
Oh wow, after a lot of digging you found an article about a French company having potential issues in China. If that’s the best you can do then you gotta work harder at your troll game.
If your reading comprehension wasn’t so blinded, you would have figured that this nuclear power plant is not only designed by the French, but is co-operated by them. Operators of the plant themselves raised the alarm, knowing very well what they were dealing with, having designed, built and operated the plant. And you can minimize this and call me a troll as much as you like, fact is that this was world news when it came up, further demonstrating that your perception of world events really is off-base.
Again, if this is the best you were able to find and you think that’s an amazing counter point, what else is there to tell you really.
Whether you like it or not that perfectly contradicts your “China defaults to safety where it comes to nuclear outbreak”. I’ll leave you there alone bumping into your own fallacies and contradictions now.
That’s obviously what you believe, so I don’t see any point arguing further. Wake me up when there’s a nuclear outbreak in China that actually happens though.
