Chinese statistics show that 13 nuclear power plants in China each released more radioactive tritium into the ocean in 2021 than the planned amount to be released from Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in one year.

Lots of news about China’s economic and demographic decline these days, which is great for the world. A world where China can flex its hegemony is a dystopian nightmare
Fuck China
To be real, the news portal is NHK and there are no sources in the report, so…….
It seems China [dismisses the issue](https://asianews.network/japanese-claim-on-chinese-nuclear-plant-waste-dismissed/) with an answer which sounds a bit like
“well, that’s true, but it’s completely different, because these releases are completely normal liquid effluents from nuclear power plants”.
Hum
no radioactive tritium is better than either country. It’s not a competition. I get that it needs to be done and the hypocrisy of pointing fingers but let’s not forget that none of this is good.
