Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.

China is "highly concerned about the risk of radioactive contamination brought by... Japan's food and agricultural products," the customs bureau said in a statement.

The Japanese government signed off on the plan two years ago and it was given a green light by the U.N. nuclear watchdog last month. The discharge is a key step in decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi plant after it was destroyed by a tsunami in 2011.

No, actually I don't buy anything made in China.

Stay mad tankie.

The cell phone you are holding had components made in china. About 80% of all battery production comes from China.

Its ok to say you dont know where you are buying the materials of the things you use, just dont forget what your purchasing power is helping to create. Its a toxic lake in northern China.

Purchased 6 years ago, before I monitored what I buy.

I remembered why I thought you were a fucking moron. You make assumptions and shift goalposts like a section of a rubik's cube.

Nice brigading btw, I'm sure you people will make Lemmy a better place.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I conceded to you already after seeing the article you sent me... You were the one that brought up my post history so I was talking about that. Then you went and made a confusing statement about calling me a conservative and a tankie which made no sense. Now you are saying I brigade and strive to make Lemmy a worse place. You are the one calling me names and talking shit for seemingly no reason. You could have just dropped the link and left like a sane person but you had to hit me with the "i read your post history you nerd now i got you where i want you 🤓 "

Bro what do you feed these goalposts? They are NOT supposed to move this much.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look around, you are the only one seeing goal posts here. There is no argument here. I told you already that. I was just saying if people want to complain about chinas waste, then they need to look in the mirror and see who is the real culprit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm sure buddy. Just like that other thread full of shifting goalposts.

You got slapped down there, you got slapped down here. Stop.

Lol im sorry i didnt realize I was talking to a kid. I am capable of having a discussion where I can change my mind and still have a nuanced opinion. I apologize if you cant and you have a single brain cell to work with.

You just want to punch down for some reason. I already said you got me on the issue on these places existing. From what it looks like, you just learned what goalposts were and you are seeing them everywhere. You are the one that also came to me saying my takes on other shit is stupid. Im okay to keep talking to you about how your take is stupid but at this point its a waste of time.

Brother, two paragraphs in response to 4 sentences means you're pressed. Stop before you make yourself look worse than you already do.
