    Tensions rise as Japan releases treated Fukushima water into ocean, prompting strong Chinese opposition

    Tensions rise as Japan releases treated Fukushima water into ocean, prompting strong Chinese opposition

    The Japanese embassy in Beijing is on high alert due to potential strong responses after Japan initiated the release of treated and diluted water into the ocean from the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on August 24, NHK reports.

    China vehemently opposes this action, even though the water has undergone treatment and dilution to decrease its tritium levels to about one-seventh of the World Health Organization's recommended limits for drinking water. In response, China has immediately halted all imports of seafood from Japan.

    Officials from the embassy report that there have been instances of offensive phone calls originating from China, targeting individuals and groups in Japan that have no connection to the water release. The embassy has requested that Chinese authorities take decisive measures in line with the law.

    A planned concert featuring a Japanese pianist, scheduled to take place at the embassy on August 27, has been postponed. The organizers stated that this decision was based on security concerns, as the event would have been attended by Japanese residents.

    Back in 2012, when the Japanese government acquired the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture from a private Japanese owner, there were instances of anti-Japanese protests that turned violent, causing damage to Japanese businesses and department stores. Japan exercises control over the islands and asserts that they are an integral part of the country's territory. This stance is contested by China and Taiwan, both of which lay claim to the islands.

    As of now, no significant disturbances have been officially confirmed. Nonetheless, the embassy emphasizes the potential for unforeseen developments. They advise Japanese residents to exercise caution and avoid speaking Japanese loudly when out in public.
