昨天，外交部副部长孙卫东召见日本驻华大使垂秀夫，就此向日方提出严正交涉。中方指出，日本政府无视国际社会的强烈质疑和反对，执意宣布即将启动福岛核污染水排海。这一行径公然向包括中国在内的周边国家和国际社会转嫁核污染风险、将一己私利凌驾于地区和世界各国民众长远福祉之上，极其自私自利，极不负责任。中方表示严重关切和强烈反对。

Yesterday Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japan’s Ambassador to China Hideo Tarumi to make serious démarches to the Japanese side on this. He noted that in disregard of the strong criticism and opposition from the international community, the Japanese government announced the decision to start releasing the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean soon. This is extremely selfish and irresponsible, as the discharge will spread the risks of nuclear contamination to its neighbouring countries, including China, and the rest of the world, and by doing so, Japan is putting its selfish interests above the long-term wellbeing of people in the region and beyond. China is gravely concerned and strongly opposed to this. 

中方强烈敦促日方撤销错误决定，停止强推核污染水排海计划，以真诚态度同周边邻国善意沟通，以负责任方式加以处置，避免对全球海洋环境造成不可预测的破坏和危害。如果日方坚持强推排海计划，中国政府将采取必要措施，坚定维护海洋环境、食品安全和公众健康。

China strongly urges Japan to cancel its wrong decision, stop pushing for the ocean discharge plan, carry out communication with neighboring countries with sincerity and good will, dispose of the water in a responsible manner, and avoid creating unpredictable damage and harm to the global marine environment. If Japan is bent on proceeding with its discharge plan, the Chinese government will take necessary measures to firmly protect the marine environment, food safety and people’s health.

法新社记者独立核专家告诉法新社，日本计划排放核废水中的氚含量远低于世卫组织对饮用水氚含量的限制标准。日本媒体报道称，2021年中国核电站排放废水中氚含量超过了日本计划排放的核“处理水”中氚含量的最高标准。鉴此，中方反对日本排海计划的科学依据是什么？

AFP Independent nuclear experts have told AFP that the levels of tritium expected to be released by Japan are well below the WHO drinking water standards. And Japanese media have also reported that levels of tritium recorded in wastewater from Chinese nuclear plants in 2021 exceeded the maximum levels for the treated water that will be released by Japan. So in this case, can you tell us what’s the scientific basis for China’s opposition to Japan’s plan?

我还要强调的是，两年多来，福岛核污染水排海计划的正当性、合法性、安全性一直受到国际社会的质疑。日方迄未解决国际社会关于核污染水净化装置的长期可靠性、核污染水数据的真实准确性、排海监测安排的有效性等重大关切。中方等利益攸关方也多次指出，如果核污染水是安全的，就没有必要排海，如果不安全，就更不应该排海。日本强推核污染水排海，不正当、不合理、不必要。我们奉劝日方，不要从一己私利出发，将核污染的风险转嫁给全人类。

I need to stress that for the past two years and more, the legitimacy, legality and safety of Japan’s ocean discharge plan has been questioned over and over again by the international community. Japan has yet to address major international concerns such as the long-term reliability of the purification facility, the authenticity and accuracy of the nuclear-contaminated water data, and the effectiveness of the monitoring arrangement. China and other stakeholders have pointed out on multiple occasions that if the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is truly safe, Japan wouldn’t have to dump it into the sea—and certainly shouldn’t if it’s not. It is unjustified, unreasonable and unnecessary for Japan to push through the ocean discharge plan. We urge Japan not to shift the risk of nuclear pollution onto the rest of humanity in pursuit of its selfish interests.

汪文斌中方一直以自己的方式为缓解乌克兰人道局势发挥建设性作用。我们提出了关于乌克兰人道局势六点倡议等中国主张，并向乌方提供了多批人道主义物资援助。中方愿继续在这方面作出自己的努力。

Wang Wenbin China has played a constructive role in our own way to help ease the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. We put forward China’s proposals including a six-point initiative on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and sent multiple batches of humanitarian supplies to the country. We are ready to continue making our efforts in this regard.
