Meanwhile Chinese fishing boats continue to pull in fish from off Japanese shores.

who welcome is only irresponsible power corporation who can reduce cost.

Several decades after, person in charge who decided this don't exist in this world.

Aren't there Chinese specialists on the IAEA committee? If there aren't, this must be addressed immediately.

Someday, other countries will imitate what Japan has done. It's convenient for IAEA and nuclear industries.

It will be down also "hurdle" to nuclear disaster because can dump radioactive contaminated materials one after another.

China has been a member of the IAEA since 1984.
