BEIJING, China:Since Japan began dumping nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plan into the ocean from August 24, the Chinese Embassy to Japan has received a large number of harassing phone calls from Japan with many using aggressive language toward embassy staff, and the embassy's fax machines have also received threatening letters, a staff member of the Chinese Embassy in Japan exclusively told the Global Times on Friday.

MELBOURNE, Australia-The port of Onahama, in southern Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, exudes a quiet busy-ness on a warm spring day. Fishers come and go in tiny white trucks, unloading their catches in blue plastic crates. White, blue and red flags, emblazoned with a stylised tuna logo, flutter in the wind outside the new red brick fish market. In the food hall across the road, vendors twist skewers of grilled shellfish and keep a watchful eye on deep vats of steamed clams. A sign above a plastic model of the day’s special proudly declares that the deep-fried oysters come from a port only 20km up the coast.
