外国专家：中国优化出入境政策促进全球贸易******
从1月8日起，中国对新冠病毒感染实施“乙类乙管”，取消入境后全员核酸检测和集中隔离。莫斯科美利坚大学高级研究员马丁·西夫1月11日在《中国日报》撰文称，旅行和国际贸易是促进全球和平与繁荣的重大、必要条件，因此中国的最新举措应当受到邻国以及其他贸易伙伴的欢迎。
中国优化出入境是大势所趋
文章指出，为遏制高传染性的新冠病毒传播，此前实施旅行限制是必要的。然而，随着新冠病毒致病力持续减弱，以及全球推动接种新冠疫苗及其加强针，该病毒所造成的威胁已经远远低于三年前。
遗憾的是，在当前严峻形势下，即便是最具建设性的举措也会被西方歪曲报道，被用于攫取廉价的政治得分。接下来的一年里，任何限制中国公民和货物在世界各地自由流动的行径，无疑都属于西方损人利己、搞破坏的范畴。
对于全球经济而言，最迫切需要的是与中国的新一轮贸易以及来自中国的投资。中国将再次发挥巨大的建设性作用，促进世界繁荣与增长。在过去20年里，中国一直是全球增长主要引擎，尤其是在拉丁美洲、撒哈拉以南非洲发挥了重要作用。中国与沙特阿拉伯以及其他海湾国家之间的贸易快速增长、关系持续深化，向着这一方向迈进是大势所趋、众望所归。
在地缘政治局势紧张的背景下，若要促进世界和平，最重要的是推动个人旅行以及商业和旅游业互动，为新一轮外交对话与外交接触营造更加积极的氛围。
对于拉丁美洲和非洲发展中国家而言，当务之急是吸引新一轮中国投资以重振陷入停滞与衰退的经济。除了英美智囊团，全世界都知道，中国无意破坏各国政府和社会的稳定。
积极回应中国新举措是良好开端
文章分析称，长期以来，中国以实际行动证明自己是一个忠诚可靠的伙伴，值得信赖，愿对世界各国进行投资并保持合作关系，而不是以意识形态和政府组织形式来划界。这是维护世界长期和平、促进全球发展与繁荣的必由之路。
如今，中国再次采取积极、明智和令人鼓舞的举措，以此促进世界贸易复苏，推动各国人民和政府重新建立联系、增进了解。各主要国家应当积极回应这一举措。一些国家的针锋相对不是人心所向，全球人民都希望在2023年看到积极回应，进而消除仇恨、缓解紧张局势、增加投资、加深理解、促进包容。
美国领导人和政客一直以来都是口惠而实不至，中国同其他许多国家一样早就对此见怪不怪。令人鼓舞的是，在世界各地，一些领导人已经意识到重要的是日积月累的政治才能，而不是在国际舞台上用侮辱性、煽动性的指责和谎言哗众取宠。在经历了这么长时间的新冠危机后，对中国优化防疫政策作出快速而积极的回应将是一个良好开端。

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.
