【国际锐评】这场新年首访是“怀旧之旅”，更是“开创之旅”******
从“一带一路”、农渔业，到基础设施、金融、旅游等，一系列合作文件在中菲两国元首共同见证下签署。这一连串丰硕成果，见证了北京新年首场外事活动的不同寻常。
4日，中国国家主席习近平在北京同来华进行国事访问的菲律宾总统马科斯举行会谈。两国元首都强调了中菲关系对彼此的重要性，同意保持经常性战略沟通，并就深化务实合作、妥善处理海上问题等达成了重要共识。
这是马科斯去年6月就任总统后，首次正式访问东盟以外国家，也是中方今年接待的首位外国领导人。中菲关系的密切程度可见一斑。去年11月，习近平主席与马科斯总统在泰国曼谷首次举行面对面会晤，为双边关系发展指明方向。时隔1个多月，两国元首在北京再次相聚，为双边关系未来发展擘画出更清晰、更细致的蓝图。总的来看，既涉及深化中菲政治互信，也涵盖拓展多领域的务实合作。
作为近邻，中菲有着上千年的友好交往史。过去一段时间，中菲关系曾经历一些困难，但在双方共同努力下，中菲关系近年来重返健康发展轨道，不断结出合作硕果。这样的势头来之不易，值得双方共同珍惜。
在会谈中，习近平主席指出，中方始终把菲律宾放在周边外交优先方向，坚持从战略和全局高度看待中菲关系，愿同菲方“做互帮互助的好邻居、相知相近的好亲戚、合作共赢的好伙伴”，并从共同维护亚洲地区和平繁荣的高度出发，提出愿与菲律宾及其他东盟国家聚焦合作与发展。这展现出中国与邻为伴、与邻为善的真诚意愿。作为一位与中国缘分很深的政治家，马科斯总统强调，中国是菲律宾最强劲的合作伙伴，没有什么能够阻挡菲中友谊的延续和发展。这向外界传递出中菲双方排除外界干扰、致力于深化两国传统友好的积极意愿。
近年来，中菲经贸合作展现出蓬勃生机。中国是菲第一大贸易伙伴、第一大进口来源地和第二大出口目的地。双方已确立农业、基建、能源、人文四大重点合作领域。中方“一带一路”倡议同菲律宾“多建好建”有效对接，开展了近40个政府间合作项目。此次，马科斯总统携规模庞大的商业代表团访华，足以说明菲方对拓展对华合作的高度重视。
在会谈中，习近平主席为深化中菲务实合作规划了清晰蓝图。中方提出，愿助力菲方农业农村发展，打造农技中心品牌项目；扎实推进基础设施和互联互通领域合作；并愿持续扩大进口菲律宾优质农渔产品，支持中国企业赴菲律宾投资兴业。这些举措将有力支持菲律宾国家经济发展，密切两国合作纽带。
南海问题是中菲关系绕不开的一个问题。近年来，某些西方国家将战略重心转向亚太，试图借南海问题兴风作浪，挑动中国与有关国家的矛盾分歧。但总体而言，中菲两国有效管控了相关分歧，没有让它伤害中菲关系大局。马科斯总统上任后曾明确表示，“不能让海上问题定义整个菲中关系”。
中方在这次会谈中提出，愿同菲方继续以友好协商方式妥善处理海上问题，重启油气开发谈判，推动非争议区油气开发合作。菲方积极回应称，愿同中方重启油气开发磋商。这表明，中菲有信心、有能力、有智慧维护南海和平稳定，通过友好磋商和谈判解决争议，将南海建设成为和平、友谊、合作之海。这是对外部势力借南海议题在亚太制造分裂对抗的有力回应。一些分析指出，对于海上问题分歧，只要中菲双方坚持既有共识，做大合作蛋糕，前行之路就会越走越宽。
1974年，时年17岁的马科斯陪同母亲首次访华，受到中国老一辈领导人的亲切接见。如今，担任总统的他，实现了对中国“期盼已久的访问”，这让外界对中菲关系的未来发展充满期待。有理由相信，在两国元首战略引领下，中菲将聚焦友好合作主流，妥善处理分歧，让更多的务实合作成果造福两国人民，为地区和平稳定贡献更多积极力量。（国际锐评评论员）
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.
