台海观澜：闽台经贸合作基础牢动力足******
中新网福州12月21日电 (记者 龙敏)海峡两岸乡村融合发展试验区在三明市设立，海峡两岸规模最大石化合作项目——福建漳州古雷炼化一体化项目投入商业运营，最具影响力的两岸经济交流合作平台——两岸企业家峰会在厦门市召开年会......进入12月以来，闽台经贸合作好消息连连。
展望未来，涉台专家21日接受中新网记者采访时认为，闽台经贸合作基础牢、动力足。
在两岸交流合作中，福建始终处于前沿，“你中有我、我中有你”的融合发展趋势更加明显。截至目前，福建现有台资企业1.1万多家，累计利用台资项目超2.1万个，实际利用台资310多亿美元。福建社会科学院现代台湾研究所所长苏美祥表示，闽台产业融合迈向全领域全业态发展新格局。
作为大陆最大的海峡两岸农业合作试验区，福建农业利用台资项目数和实际到资规模保持大陆首位；拥有6个国家级台湾农民创业园，数量居大陆首位；最先启动零关税进口台湾农产品的厦门口岸，成为大陆最大的台湾水果集散中心……闽台农业合作走在大陆的前列。
石化领域更是闽台经贸合作基础牢、动力足的鲜明体现。古雷炼化一体化项目由中国石化福建炼油化工有限公司和旭腾投资有限公司各占50%投比合资建设，其中一期工程总投资278亿元(人民币，下同)，主要包括实际加工能力100万吨/年乙烯裂解等9套化工装置，以及配套的公用工程、码头及储运设施等，年产乙烯百万吨。
古雷炼化一体化项目试投产以来运行平稳，目前乙烯单体对台湾销量突破8.5万吨。两岸企业家峰会能源及环保节能产业合作推进小组召集人傅成玉表示，这不仅是海峡两岸企业合作的重大石化项目，也是海峡两岸融合发展的成功实践。
随着古雷炼化一体化项目建设的推进，古雷石化基地成为国家发改委唯一确认的大陆台湾石化产业园区和推动两岸产业融合的试验田，全力打造具有国际竞争力的世界级石化基地。“共同推动古雷二期开花结果”，摆上了两岸企业合作的日程。
福建省委常委、常务副省长郭宁宁表示，希望两岸企业家以此次古雷炼化一体化项目投入商业运营为契机，进一步延伸产业链条，做大做强石化产业，做优古雷石化基地，全方位促进闽台产业融合发展，助力两岸深化各领域交流合作。
2022年以来，福建继续落实“31条措施”“26条措施”“11条措施”“农林22条措施”等惠台举措，积极协助台商台企纾困稳产，支持台胞申请设立个体工商户，创造条件帮助台青实习就业创业……件件实事让台胞台企有感。
尤其是，在全球投资贸易萎缩、新冠肺炎疫情冲击的背景下，闽台经贸合作依旧逆势前行。以大陆唯一对台综合实验区为例，今年前10个月，平潭综合实验区对台湾地区进出口61.3亿元，同比增长7.8%，其中出口53.1亿元，同比增长28.8%。
当下，福建着力推动高质量发展，加快建设现代化产业体系，为台胞台企入闽发展提供了空间和机遇。福建省委书记周祖翼在2022两岸企业家峰会年会上表示，福建将进一步推进闽台产业融合发展，进一步帮助台企开拓更为广阔的市场，进一步为台企在闽投资兴业提供优质服务，加快建设海峡两岸融合发展示范区。(完)
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.
