Japan PM condemns China over stone-throwing at embassy, schools

TOKYO, Japan - Japan's prime minister urged China to ensure its people"act in a calm and responsible manner" after instances of stones being thrown at diplomatic missions and schools, following the release of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Japan's Deputy Foreign Minister Masataka Okano told the ambassador, Wu Jianghao, that China should properly inform the public"rather than unnecessarily raising people's concerns by providing information that is not based on scientific evidence", the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"If you need to visit a Japanese embassy, consulate general, or Japanese school, pay close attention to your surroundings," it added. Social media users in China have posted recordings and videos of the calls, some of which have attracted tens of thousands of likes.Japan began releasing more than 500 Olympic swimming pools' worth of diluted wastewater from Fukushima into the Pacific on Thursday, 12 years after a tsunami knocked out three reactors in one of the world's worst atomic accidents.
