A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Britain has expressed deep concern over the British government's attitude to Japan's dumping of nuclear-contaminated wastewater into the ocean.
Britain's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office recently issued a statement voicing full support for the Japanese government's release of radioactive wastewater.
"We are deeply concerned about the UK government's attitude on this issue. If the UK is still a responsible country, it should unequivocally reject and condemn Japan's wrongdoing," the spokesperson said on Friday.
"The Japanese government, in total disregard of the strong opposition of the international community, forcibly started the discharge of Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, shifting the risk of nuclear contamination to the whole world," the spokesperson said. "This is an extremely irresponsible act."
The spokesperson noted that the vast majority of countries around the world, and many people in Japan, are opposed to the release of radioactive water and have taken preventive measures in response.
