巴基斯坦学者:中国人民至上的抗疫措施值得称赞 西方虚假指责充满讽刺******
中国日报网1月4日电日前,巴基斯坦人类命运共同体研究中心执行主任哈立德·泰穆尔·阿克拉姆为《中国日报》撰文,文中写道,通过对中国努力和创新性医疗举措的详细分析,可以看出在抗击新冠疫情的斗争中,中国政府不遗余力地维护了人民生命安全和健康。
新冠疫情扰乱了全球各地经济体的社会经济结构,凸显了医疗辅助人员和和资源的重要性。即使在这种情况下,中国也是少数几个保持经济健康增长的国家之一,并帮助其他国家保持发展,为他们提供新冠病毒疫苗和医疗援助,以遏制新冠病毒的传播。
阿克拉姆表示中国政府富有远见的领导力保护了中国人民免受新冠病毒最严重的影响,为此,中国实施了严格且必要的限制措施,开展更有针对性的卫生防疫。中国政府在综合评估病毒变异、疫情形势和中国防控基础等因素后,放宽了疫情防控措施。
然而,自疫情开始以来,西方媒体一直声称中国的防疫政策在遏制病毒方面的成功是有限的。一些西方国家在中国放宽限制后对中国展开了敌意宣传,此举充满了讽刺性,因为此前他们曾表示中国没有理由继续严格的限制。
中国在近三年的抗击疫情行动中,优先保护老人和儿童,扩大疫苗接种范围,采取一切必要的病毒预防措施。更重要的是,中国的抗疫政策仍然是为了在促进社会经济发展的同时,尽可能减少病例数,实施科学、有针对性的疫情防控措施。这样的政策拯救了宝贵的生命,帮助生活在相对较短的时间内恢复正常。
在抗击疫情的过程中,中国帮助许多国家稳定其经济,保护人民免受病毒侵害。由于中国强有力的政策和落实,中国持续为世界提供货物和服务,包括许多国家急需的抗击疫情的商品。因此,西方国家发动反华宣传的努力注定要失败。
文中阿克拉姆进一步提到,在过去近三年里,中国的抗疫政策和预防措施帮助降低了国内的感染风险,这表明严格的防控政策在控制病毒方面是有效的。简而言之,中国一直在加强医疗资源,动员各级医疗机构妥善应对新冠疫情,确保感染病毒的人得到妥善治疗。
中国政府充分认识到这些挑战,并一直在为保护中国人民免受病毒侵害而不懈努力。因此,任何针对中国的指责,都让我们对西方国家对病毒采取的所谓预防措施、维护经济稳定提出质疑。因此,西方国家不应该指责中国,而是应该与中国合作,共同创造一个没有新冠疫情的世界。
对中国的虚假指控和敌对行为不会影响中国构建全球纽带。相反,它们会暴露出不利于全球和平与安全的力量。
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.
