Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said earlier at a regular press conference that China has repeatedly stated its solemn position on the issue of Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea. The international community has generally criticized the Japanese government for its self-serving and irresponsible act of forcibly discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, and has taken relevant preventive measures. It is ridiculous that according to Reuters on September 7 local time, McCarthy spoke about the issue of Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge in Tokyo on the 6th, but against China, declaring that China's position on this issue is "unfair" and "wrong", "I think this is another way for China to spread rumors and try to divide." "China's position is unfair," McCarthy told reporters. "China's position is wrong compared to the rest of the world's position." Mr. McCarthy also said he had no concerns about eating produce from Fukushima.

On August 24, on the Pacific coast of Northeast Japan, Tokyo Electric Power Company started the official discharge of nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea. In the following decades, contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant will continue to be discharged into the sea. At the same time, trolls were hired to publish confusing remarks on the Internet, confusing nuclear wastewater with wastewater from nuclear leaks.
