Abstract

The decision of Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge involves many theoretical and practical issues, which attracts the strong attention of the international community and academic circles. Once nuclear wastewater is discharged, it will seriously infringe on global ecological and environment safety and the lives and health of people of all countries. As Japan’s close neighbor and stakeholder, China has responded positively to this incident and shall analyze its illegal nature from the perspective of international law, Japan’ s domestic law and the perspective of cross-border nuclear damage responsibility. China should organize, coordinate and unite other countries to jointly respond to the Japanese Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge incident and safeguard maritime rights and interests through “environmental diplomacy”, legal methods, international organizations and other channels.
