习近平贺信肯定中新社坚持为侨服务 引海外侨胞热议******
中新社北京9月26日电 (记者 冉文娟)七秩芳华，中新社向海外侨胞发出了一封封及时、温暖的“家书”；岁月更替，中新社以侨为桥，搭建中国与世界沟通的桥梁。
9月23日，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平致信祝贺中国新闻社建社70周年。连日来，贺信在海外华侨华人中引发热烈反响。
习近平在贺信中肯定中新社建社70年来“坚持为侨服务”。对此，旅居匈牙利30多年的中东欧中医药学会会长陈震深有感触，他称中新社是陪伴自己海外生活的“老朋友”。
“早年间信息相对匮乏，在海外获取祖(籍)国的准确消息不易。中新社的新闻报道让我们及时了解中国最新动态，打开了一扇窗。”陈震说，这些年中新社的新闻产品越来越丰富，但“为侨服务”的初心不改，始终关注着华侨华人的生存境遇，为侨胞权益发声，建设“精神家园”。
“尤其是新冠疫情发生以来，中新社多次报道侨胞抗击疫情、同舟共济的故事，为华侨华人在住在国抗疫注入正能量，带来信心和力量。”陈震说。
“多年来中新社是我在美国关注最多的媒体之一，每每看到中新社报道，都会有一种特别的亲切感。”美国犹他州韦伯州立大学终身教授乐桃文说，不论是向纸媒提供文图稿件，还是拓展网络报道，再到近些年的微信公众号等新媒体平台，中新社的新闻产品都令人印象深刻。
乐桃文说：“几十年来，中新社一直关注着侨胞，心贴着侨胞，团结、服务侨胞，深受大家喜爱与推崇。”
习近平肯定中新社为“讲好中国故事、传播好中国声音”发挥了积极作用，并希望中新社为“推动中外文明交流、民心相通作出新的更大贡献”。
“中新社的报道展现了伦敦唐人街的繁荣发展，提升了在英华侨华人形象，促进了中英两国友好交流。”英国伦敦华埠商会主席邓柱廷说，中新社以多种方式关注和报道一年一度的伦敦华埠新春庆典，提升了活动影响力，也加深了英国民众对中华文化的了解和喜爱。
他表示，伦敦华埠商会未来将继续发挥好桥梁和纽带作用，传播中华文化，推动中英两国人文交流，“诚挚希望能和中新社一起努力，为两国友好注入更多正能量”。
“中新社的报道平实、接地气，在海外读到尤其亲切。”韩中文化友好协会会长曲欢说，期待中新社未来挖掘更多韩中两国友好交流的故事，增进彼此了解，推动两国民众情感共鸣，心灵相通。
在当前百年变局的新形势下，海外华侨华人作为跨文化人群，其桥梁纽带作用进一步凸显。澳大利亚澳华文联主席、悉尼华星艺术团团长余俊武致力于推动中华文化的本土化传播，艺术团创作的许多文艺作品在中新社旗下的“侨宝”客户端平台展示，得到了广泛的传播。
他说，“中新社搭建的平台，助力我们更好地传播中华文化，也鼓励我们探索创新，深挖中华文化经典中与时俱进的创新价值，推出更多优秀作品服务当地。”(完)
中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事******
中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。
资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。
日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。
日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。
事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。
因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。
日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。
《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。
德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。
日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。
国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。
太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。
Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business
By John Lee
(ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year.
Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business.
The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year.
The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public.
In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run.
Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public.
The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution.
The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.
The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses.
According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan.
As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment.
However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact.
Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad.
The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies.
If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
