ALPS isn't perfect and Tepco has a track record of cutting corners. I'm rather skeptical about Tepco's ability to do this properly.

When has China dumped radioactive waste with high levels of Strontium-90 and Carbon-14 into the ocean?

China likes Japanese culture too much to do anything significant about it.

The only territorial claims China has tried to enforce recently are to literally uninhabited lands (Aksai Chin and the SCS islands) and Taiwan (which they are still at war with).

How much do you really care about a piece of rock with no people and no animals living on it?

Why exactly do you think that pretty much the entire Global South has not placed significant sanctions on Russia? Why do you think so many countries want to join BRICS?

Must be because of poor Russian diplo. Meanwhile, African countries are literally committing coups for their government staying too close to European colonial powers.

Because modern diplomacy says to be nice to your allies and not nice to your enemies? That's why the US keeps on throwing sanctions at China.

CATO as a source is worse than RT lol. Talk about arguing in bad faith.

Dude responded with a Time Magazine article, you're arguing in bad faith.

Haven't you heard? The West IS the world!

No one does this, though?

If that's diplomacy, then we're living in a world of the opposite.

Because China (and Mexico, India, Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, and the Middle East) have not really introduced sanctions (except against military equipment)? These companies are following their government's policy, which is more than can be said for companies like PepsiCo and Mars (both American).

International trade is dictated by countries, not by companies. If a company is breaking the policy of the country it operates from, that's obviously very bad. These companies aren't trying to pick sides: their government hasn't picked a side and so there is no reason for the company to.

Who's efforts? From what I can see, only North America and Europe have joined in this so-called international embargo. In fact, not even Mexico has any sanctions against Russia.

What's the motivation for including companies based in countries that haven't called for trade restrictions?

Sure, I agree fully that countries based in Europe or North America should follow government policy or relocate, but I'm not expecting companies to behave outside of the policy detailed by their government.

For the construction, right? That's the whole, right?

So...? How does that affect the sale of consumer electronics?

Nobody wants to deal with a North Korean refugee crisis and something like 20% of defectors want to return to North Korea.

Ah yes, because installing a foreign-built sensor network is all about speaking the facts about the world you live in. Of course.

Where the fuck is the money going to Russia from?

Hardly makes Alibaba and Xiaomi sponsors of war 🤷‍♀️

I mean, Russia's been on the offensive, so are you surprised that they're losing more men? Attacking is notoriously challenging and has been for most of human history. As an aggressor, you only really win with overwhelming force or by grinding your opponents down until you find a breakthrough that your opponents can't fill. Russia started with overwhelming force, which is where most of the territorial gains were made.

Half life of most of these things isn't that long, so you could slash the concentrations to the point that you could drink straight out of the tank eventually.
