Chinese netizens expressed anti-Japanese sentiment on social media and made nuisance calls to Japanese businesses and public venues after Beijing criticized the release of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant. Many of the posts and calls came from China's national commentators known as "little pink." The Japanese government called on the Chinese Embassy to calm its citizens down and ensure the safety of Japanese residents in China. Experts believe that China is using the Fukushima incident to promote anti-Japanese nationalism and distract its citizens from domestic issues. The radiation levels in the treated water are not high enough to be of concern to human health.
