Japan plans to release 1.3 million metric tons of Treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean, causing concern among neighboring countries. The water release is deemed necessary due to the storage tanks reaching capacity. While the Japanese government insists the water is safe, China has strongly opposed the plan, calling it "selfish and irresponsible." South Korea has expressed no scientific problem with the plan but does not necessarily support it. Hong Kong has announced import curbs on some Japanese food products in response to the announcement.
