[Global Network Report Reporter Zhao Youping] Japan decided to discharge the nuclear wastewater from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in the sea. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities in Taiwan bowed down and expressed only "serious concern" about this, and were criticized by the Kuomintang for "so weak legs towards Japan." A spokesperson for the DPP publicly criticized the Kuomintang on the 14th, saying that the Kuomintang opposed Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater, but supported the restart of the Fourth Nuclear Energy Power Plant ( Nuclear 4 ) to remanufacturing nuclear waste and nuclear wastewater. It is fundamentally a "separation of personality" and a "political liar."
On the island website, a large number of netizens left angrily messages, denounced the DPP for "licking the Japanese", emphasizing that Taiwan's nuclear wastewater and Japan's Fukushima 's nuclear wastewater are all different things.
According to previous news from Taiwan media, Taiwanese people have strong reactions to Japan's decision to discharge nuclear wastewater from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to the sea. Some fishermen are worried about affecting fishery resources, and the people are even more afraid of eating "radiated fish". There are voices on the island that strongly demand that the DPP authorities express opposition to Japan, "you can't remain silent." In contrast to the strong reactions of the people, the DPP authorities underestimated Japan's approach. Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen has never made a direct statement on the matter. Late at night on the 13th, Taiwan's "Presidential Office spokesman" Zhang Tunhan finally broke his silence and expressed his thoughts from "original energy association" to Taiwanese people and environmental protection groups, and then to "international standards", but he did not say a single heavy word to Japan.

The DPP authorities' understatement has attracted painful criticism from the "legislators" of the blue camp.
According to China Times News Network, the "Blue Committee" stated that countries and regions around Japan expressed strict attitudes towards Japan, but the DPP authorities were servile and had only "serious concerns". The DPP was so weak towards Japan, and I am afraid that even DPP supporters could not stand it. On the 14th, the Kuomintang Central Standing Committee member Lin Jinjie said that he had proposed a proposal to the Central Standing Committee, requiring the Kuomintang Central Committee to protest to Japan solemnly, and asked the DPP authorities to make specific protests against Japan's actions and declarations, including recalling Taiwan's "representative to Japan."
htmlOn 14, DPP spokesman Xie Peifen jumped out.According to Taiwan's "ETtoday News Cloud", Xie Peifen claimed on the 14th that the Kuomintang opposed Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater, but supported the restart of nuclear 4 and re-manufacturing of nuclear waste and nuclear wastewater. This is fundamentally a "separation of personality" and also criticized the Kuomintang for "leading the wind direction" at the first time.
In addition to Xie Peifen, the DPP "legislator" Wang Dingyu, who was exposed to living with DPP female spokesman Yan Fangruo a while ago and causing a lot of controversy on the island, seemed to want to take the opportunity to turn things around. On the 14th, he posted a statement on Facebook that those who oppose the discharge of tritium-containing wastewater from Fukushima into the sea, if they still support the Nuclear Fourth, they will be "political liars" with contradictory positions.

According to Taiwan's "New Head Shell", Wang Dingyu said that the controversy this time is that although scientists believe that the impact of nuclear wastewater discharge on health is very small, radiation risk assessment expert Jiafei Lunming, a radiation risk assessment expert at Oita University in Japan, said in an interview that the risk cannot be said to be zero; unknown impact does not mean there is no impact. He also quoted Japanese experts as saying that all nuclear power plants in Japan and other places discharge tritium-containing wastewater into the sea, and tritium-containing wastewater is simply a type of nuclear waste in nuclear power plants. If nuclear waste cannot be processed, nuclear power plants should not be used.
Xie Peifen and Wang Dingyu's statements have been scolded by a large number of netizens on the island. It is believed that opposing Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater and supporting the restart of nuclear 4 are two-character matters: Xie Peifen is full of lies and nonsense, but it is simply that the two-character matters must be linked together, with bad quality.


Some netizens explained that generally nuclear power plant wastewater is generated by normal operation through designed pipelines, and Fukushima wastewater is caused by abnormal irrigation to cool down after a gas explosion. The netizen asked back: "Is the nuclear risks of the two the same?"

Some netizens said that the cooling water of a normal nuclear power plant is compared with polluted water that has been in contact with the melting core and contains a large amount of radioactive and toxic substances after a level 7 nuclear accident. "The DPP is the personality split, or is it the people who are idiots."

Some netizens also believe that the DPP authorities oppose nuclear 4, but do not oppose the direct discharge of harmful nuclear wastewater into the ocean, "this is schizophrenia."
