(中国这十年·侨声)体育强国路 侨影相随行******
中新社北京10月14日电 (门睿)2022年2月4日,时值立春,在二十四节气的倒数中,全世界目光聚焦中国国家体育场“鸟巢”,迎接第24届冬奥会的开幕。全球华侨华人共赴这场“冰雪之约”,与祖(籍)国共享荣光。
从1932年首次有中国代表团正式参加奥运会,到2008年中国成功举办第29届夏季奥运会;从“新中国奥运会第一人”吴传玉,到世界上首座“双奥之城”北京,中国走向体育强国的路上,始终有华侨华人的身影相伴随行。
近代以来,谋求救亡图存的中国人始终希望通过发展体育事业强健民族形象。1932年,美国洛杉矶第10届奥运会开幕式上,包括中国留学生和美籍华人在内的6人中国代表团出席,代表团成员、短跑运动员刘长春成为中国第一位参加奥运会的选手。
新中国成立后,一批归侨积极投身新中国体育事业发展。印度尼西亚归侨、游泳运动员吴传玉为新中国赢得了第一个世界冠军;林丰玉、王文教、陈福寿等一批羽毛球运动员、教练员回国效力,为新中国羽毛球运动的兴盛发展奠定了坚实基础;新中国第一代击剑人陶金汉创造了中国击剑史上的数个“第一”。
中国华侨历史博物馆副馆长宁一告诉中新社记者,当时,这些归侨不仅在运动赛事中为国家赢得荣誉,还在培养训练、相关学术研究、国际交流、社会活动等方面推动中国体育事业发展。“运动风”也吹进侨乡,篮球、足球、排球、田径等运动在东南沿海侨乡培养起广泛的群众基础,形成人人参与运动的“侨乡体育”现象。
进入21世纪后,中国体育事业发展更加多元专业,2001年北京申奥成功促进中国体育事业走向新高峰,华侨华人也积极投身其中。由来自107个国家和地区的35万余港澳台侨同胞捐资共建的国家游泳中心“水立方”正是最好见证。
爱国侨领、新加坡金鹰集团主席陈江和是港澳台侨同胞中首个为奥运捐资的个人,累计捐资500万美元支持“水立方”建设。他表示,北京奥运会是全球华人共同参与的盛会,港澳台侨同胞合力捐资支持奥运场馆建设,表达的是对实现中华民族伟大复兴的热切盼望。
近年来,随着华侨华人日渐融入海外社会生活,中华传统体育项目也走向海外,获得认可。每到中国传统节日,舞龙舞狮运动走上各国街头,展现中华文明魅力;龙舟运动已在全世界60多个国家开展起来,相关赛会收获越来越多当地外国观众关注;包括男女长拳全能和男女太极拳全能4个小项的武术项目也被列为2026年达喀尔青奥会正式项目。
2022年北京冬奥会举办前夕,华侨冰雪博物馆在河北崇礼落成,馆内6000余件侨捐藏品讲述海外侨胞和归侨侨眷为中国体育事业尤其是冰雪运动做出的贡献,续写华侨华人与奥林匹克故事的新篇章。
归国兴教、捐资助学、捐建场馆、为国争光,从初入国际赛场到建设体育强国,中国体育事业的每一步发展,都得到华侨华人身体力行地参与和支持。2023年,第19届亚运会即将在浙江杭州举办,新西兰华人艺术家晨晓受邀为赛会创作了6幅系列壁画作品。他表示,作为土生土长的浙江人,很荣幸有机会作为建设者参与到这场在家乡举办的体育盛会中,将尽全力作出自己应有的贡献。(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。

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.
