Since August 24, Japan has been releasing nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant into the Pacific Ocean. This action has drawn significant global attention and opposition, sparking concerns about environmental and health impacts worldwide.
Across the Pacific in Monterrey, Mexico, residents have expressed strong apprehensions over Japan’s decision. A CGTN Stringer interviewed locals from diverse backgrounds, revealing a shared sentiment that Japan should consider the perspectives of other nations, particularly those along the Pacific Rim, before proceeding with the discharge.
“I think Japan should seek opinions from other countries,” said a local activist. “Japan’s dumping of nuclear-tainted water will affect humanity.”
Many Monterrey residents echoed this concern, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the world’s oceans and the potential consequences for marine life and ecosystems. Their voices add to the chorus of international dissent, urging Japan to reevaluate its approach and prioritize global environmental welfare.
