The Chinese Embassy in Japan has faced a relentless barrage of harassment calls and aggressive actions since Japan's release of contaminated water into the sea.

According to a statement from the Chinese Embassy exclusively obtained by China Daily, following Japan's decision to release radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean, Embassy staff have been subjected to a wave of domestic hostile calls, intense shouting, and even personal threats. The embassy's fax machines have been inundated with letters containing radical content, exacerbating the situation. Additionally, Japanese domestic right-wing groups have reportedly been disrupting the embassy's operations by causing disturbances at its entrance.

The Chinese Embassy has called on the Japanese government and law enforcement to address the harassment and take effective action to ensure the safety and security of diplomatic personnel.
