The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Chinese experts have revisited Japan to independently sample and monitor the nuclear-contaminated water discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The sampling and monitoring efforts were organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency, with teams from several countries joining the initiative to collect various water samples from the discharge outlets and surrounding areas.
In addition to collecting samples of the contaminated water and adjacent seawater, Chinese experts also gathered marine biological specimens. This comprehensive approach is part of Japan’s commitment to responsibly manage the ocean discharge of nuclear-contaminated water, and Chinese representatives are actively involved in verifying these processes.
The spokesperson emphasized that both international monitoring under the IAEA and China’s independent testing will continue, with progress updates to be shared as soon as they become available. Chinese research institutions are rigorously analyzing the marine biological samples, reflecting the high level of professionalism required to address the complexities of the nuclear water discharge issue.

Japan needs to be held accountable for this. They can't just get away with throwing their waste into the ocean.
