On August 24, Japan began releasing nuclear-contaminated water from its damaged Fukushima power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This decision has immediately sparked worldwide attention and widespread opposition.
CGTN took to the streets of Tokyo and Chiba to gauge public sentiment regarding the controversial move. Among those interviewed was Haruto, a local resident, who expressed deep concern about the environmental impact. \"The release of radioactive water will pollute the ocean, creating a serious environmental problem,\" Haruto stated.
The release has ignited debates among environmentalists, local communities, and international observers. Many fear the long-term consequences for marine life and the broader ecosystem. As the situation unfolds, the voices of Japanese residents highlight the urgent need for sustainable and transparent solutions to address the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster.
