Recently, the Japanese government decided to discharge Fukushima nuclear waste water into the sea, which triggered a global controversy. The discharge of nuclear waste water into the sea has had a great impact on the environment, and many countries have expressed their opposition. A large supermarket in Seoul, South Korea put up a slogan to boycott Japanese goods, but the scene in Seoul's largest aquatic product wholesale market was deserted. At present, the market has increased the detection frequency of radioactive substances to ensure the safety of aquatic products.

Retailers such as large supermarkets and department stores in South Korea said that they stopped selling seafood products made in Japan from 20 1 1 and have no plans to replace them in the future.

The Korean people have a high degree of rejection of Japanese seafood products, which shows that the decision of the Japanese government has made the Korean people very angry. The Ministry of Marine and Fisheries of the Republic of Korea announced that it intends to strengthen the traceability supervision of the origin of Nissan seafood and will strengthen law enforcement.

Korean netizen: Japan is an "unstoppable madman"

Although Japan said that it would take two years to start discharging pollutants into the sea, this move has already set off public opinion in South Korea. In major forums and social media in South Korea, the discussion on Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge plan has "built a tall building".

What concerns Korean netizens most is the threat to their living environment and food safety. Many netizens said, "Don't you consider the environment? It's crazy! " "What about our drinking water and marine life?"

According to Korean media reports, after Japanese nuclear waste water entered the sea, the polluted seawater reached Jeju Island 200 days later and the west coast of South Korea 400 days later under the action of ocean currents. This has aggravated the panic of the Korean people to some extent.

Li Minzhi (pseudonym), a graduate student at Sungkyunkwan University, told Phoenix Weekly: "The ecosystem is a circular system. The nuclear waste water discharged from Japan will eventually flow back to us. South Korea is closer to Japan and has greater risks. "

Some Koreans even think that discharging nuclear waste water into the sea is a more serious crisis than the COVID-19 epidemic.
