China on Friday condemned a Japanese plan to release treated radioactive wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, demanding that Tokyo first receive the approval of neighboring countries.
China has made similar complaints on a regular basis in the past, but has not said how it would respond if Japan goes ahead with the planned release.
Japan's behavior is "extremely irresponsible," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a daily briefing Friday. "Until full consultation and agreement is reached with neighboring countries and other stakeholders and relevant international institutions, the Japanese side shall not initiate the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea without authorization," she said.
South Korea, several Pacific Island nations and Japanese fishing communities have also objected to the planned release.
