To forcibly start the ocean discharge is an extremely selfish and irresponsible act in disregard of the global public interest, Wang said.

汪说，强行启动海洋排放是一种极端自私和不负责任的行为，无视全球公共利益。

In disregard of the strong criticism and opposition from the international community, the Japanese government unilaterally started the dumping of the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated wastewater into the ocean 1pm local time on Thursday.

日本政府不顾国际社会的强烈批评和反对，于当地时间周四下午 1 点单方面开始向海洋倾倒福岛核污染废水。
