Antony Blinken sparks backlash over his support for Japan's wastewater dumping
Quote
On April 13, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken thanked Japan for its decision to release contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, prompting a backlash in the comments section of Blinken's Twitter post.
According to research in 2012 by Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR), a marine research institute in Germany, It would only take 57 days for the radioactive materials from Japan's contaminated water to spread to most of the Pacific Ocean, three years to reach the coastal areas of the U.S. and Canada, and 10 years to spread worldwide.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian claimed that the world should not face the consequences of Japan's actions. Japan's fishing industry in Fukushima and many other countries also opposed this plan.
Russian government expressed "serious concern" over Japan's plan, South Korea’s president Moon Jae-in ordered officials to explore petitioning an international court over Japan's decision.

The Japanese government on Tuesday approved plans to release more than 1 million metric tons (1.1 million US tons) of radioactive water from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean two years from now. The controversial plan was approved following years of heated wrangling and despite concerns from neighboring countries. In response, the South Korean foreign ministry summoned Japan's top envoy to Seoul. South Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-moon met with Japanese Ambassador Koichi Aiboshi, according to officials. Choi was expected to express regrets and lodge a protest during the meeting.
