逾九成民意認為謝長廷言論不適當，蔡總統還要坐視不管嗎？
中國國民黨今(27)日召開「逾九成民意認為謝長廷言論不適當，蔡總統還要坐視不管嗎？」記者會，文傳會主委王育敏、副主委黃子哲、鄭照新出席，質疑從駐日代表謝長廷硬扯台灣核電廠也排廢水的論述開始，迄今蔡英文總統皆未對此事有任何回應或說法，對於謝長廷在外交上無法捍衛我國權利的失職失能，已經引發國內逾九成民意的不認同，職掌外交事務的蔡總統應該負起最大責任，要求謝長廷親自回台向國會報告。「不說話就是默許謝長廷這種醜化台灣、諂媚日本的行徑」，當不滿的民意沸騰，謝長廷仍死不認錯，蔡總統還要坐視不管嗎？
針對謝長廷不斷硬凹台灣也排核廢水的言論，國民黨表示，已經引起台灣民意的反彈，根據網路平台Yahoo 4月26日開始進行的網路民調，「謝長廷再發表台電排放核廢水言論，你認為適不適當？」截止今日上午8時止，已投票的2,519人，高達2,365人(93.88％)表達不適當，認為有失駐日代表職責；僅154人(6.11％)認為適當。事實上，早在4月15日，當謝長廷提出台灣也排核廢水時，Yahoo民調即針對「駐日代表謝長廷扯台灣核電廠也排廢水，拿廢水跟日本核廢水相提並論，你認不認同他的論述？」進行網路調查，當時共有1,386人投票，有1,327人(95.7％)表示不認同，認為引用兩國廢水內容有誤；僅59人(4.3％)的人表示認同。國民黨指出，謝長廷扯台灣核電廠為日本排放福島核災廢水辯解的說辭，已經造成台灣民意的高度反彈與不滿，蔡政府都聽不見嗎？
國民黨並指出，謝長廷連發兩篇臉書文提出所謂的證據，但遭原能會再度打臉，「日本排放的是核災區廢水，性質、來源都與國內核電廠排放有所不同」。請問謝長廷是看不懂主管機關原能會的說明嗎？原能會早在4月15日已詳細說明：「日方目前所規劃採行之氚廢液排放方案，係屬於發生嚴重核子意外事故後的善後處理措施，其廢液排放程序與監測系統，與正常核能電廠運轉的完整性、嚴謹性、安全性及多年累積的安全運作經驗相較，需更加謹慎地予以考量。」國民黨批評，謝長廷的心態就是不斷硬凹台灣核電廠也排廢水，所以沒資格質疑日方嗎？請問謝長廷，污名化台灣核電廠多年來安全運作的排放作業，就能為日方嚴重核子意外事故的「未定」排放方案來釋疑嗎？
國民黨進一步指出，謝長廷為了圓謊，不惜偷偷修改臉書文：4月9日謝長廷臉書原文是「……其實我們的核一核二廠過去也曾有發生『儲存燃料棒水池的廢水未處理就排放入海』，引發秘雕魚的爭議。」4月23日修改為「其實我們的核一核二廠過去也曾有發生「疑似含輻射物質之核廢水排放入海」，引發魚類大量死亡及秘雕魚之爭議。」此外，4月14日另一篇臉書原文指「我們原子能委員會承認我們核能廠的爐心冷卻水，也是排放入海」，23日則修改為「我們原子能委員會承認我們核能廠的爐心冷卻水（即反應爐之冷卻水，非爐水）也是排放入海」。國民黨質疑，謝長廷意圖魚目混珠，掩蓋自己硬凹、說錯的論述，再提出所謂的證據來混淆黑白、張冠李戴。「凡走過必留下痕跡」，若謝長廷自認站得住腳為何要修改曾說過的話？謝長廷投機的政客嘴臉一再被戳破，為何還有顏面繼續擔任駐日代表？
國民黨強調，謝長廷花費精力為日本的做法辯解、硬凹，即便原能會已經說明兩者不同，謝長廷仍不死心，偷改臉書文、提舊資料，為了幫日方賣命不惜與民進黨政府的原能會唱反調。即使被原能會兩篇的澄清文打臉，也無法讓謝長廷改其志，標準的「養老鼠咬布袋」！謝長廷「熱臉去貼冷屁股」的行徑，也難怪日方擬同意讓先前極力表達抗議、反對的韓國派遣專家參與國際原子能機構調查團，監測福島核廢水排海過程，但台灣原能會積極爭取卻始終無下文。請問蔡英文總統、蘇貞昌院長，如此「將日本利益擺第一、視台灣安全如無物」的駐日代表，你們忍受得下去嗎？
Opinion poll shows 90% deem Frank Hsieh’s Remarks on Nuclear Wastewater Inappropriate. Why does President Tsai still look the other way?
The Kuomintang (KMT) held a press conference on April 27, criticizing President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) for keeping so quiet on Frank Hsieh’s misstatement（謝長廷） that Taiwan’s nuclear power plants had also previously discharged untreated radiation-contaminated water into the sea. Hsieh made the remarks following Japan’s decision to dump contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean in 2023.
Hsieh, being a representative of the ROC to Japan, was considered derelect of duty for the misstatement by over 90% of the respondents in a latest poll as he failed to defend Taiwan’s interests on the matter. During the press conference, the KMT asked President Tsai to shoulder full responsibility, demanding that Hsieh immediately return to Taiwan to report the matter to the congress.
According to a survey conducted by the online platform Yahoo on April 26, under the title: ‘’Frank Hsieh again stated that Taipower discharged untreated radiation-contaminated water. Do you agree with Hsieh’s remarks?’’, 2365 (93.88%) out of 2519 respondents considered Hsieh’s statement extremely inappropriate. On April 15, when Frank Hsieh first stated that Taiwan also discharged untreated radiation-contaminated water, Yahoo conducted a similar poll under the title: ‘‘Frank Hsieh, Taiwan’s representative to Japan,, lumped normal discharge of cooling water from nuclear power plants with Fukushima radiation-contaminated water. Do you agree with him?’’. At the time, 1327 (95.7%) out of 1386 respondents disagreed with him, believing that lumping together different scenarios of the two countries was incorrect. Only 59 respondents (4.3%) concurred with Hsieh. The KMT stated that Frank Hsieh engages in “whataboutism” by falsely comparing Taiwan’s nuclear power plants to Japanese nuclear power plants in order to downplay Japan’s decision to discharge radiation-contaminated water into the sea. His misstatement has sparked wide discontent among the public in Taiwan.
The KMT stressed that the so-called “evidence” offered by Hsieh in his two Facebook posts were proven incorrect by the Atomic Energy Council (AEC). On April 15, the AEC explained in detail on the matter, emphasizing that the tritium waste liquid discharge plan currently adopted by Japan is a post-treatment measure after a serious nuclear accident. The AEC noted that people should be more cautious when comparing Japan’s case with other countries. The KMT emphasized that by falsely comparing Taiwan’s nuclear power plants to that in Japan cannot downplay the public’s misgivings about Japan’s decision to discharge radiation-contaminated water into the sea.
The KMT questioned whether Hsieh intends to cover up his erroneous statement by presenting false evidence to confuse the public. If Hsieh believed that his remarks were tenable, why would he revise what he had written on his original Facebook post? Is it appropriate for an incapable politician like Hsieh to continue to serve as the Republic of China (Taiwan)’s representative to Japan, asked the KMT.
The KMT emphasized that even though the AEC has argued that the water discharged by Taiwan is different from that of Japan, Hsieh still deliberately speaks contrary to the AEC and the DPP government. Japan plans to allow South Korea, which had previously expressed protests and opposition, to send experts to participate in the International Atomic Energy Agency’s investigation mission to Fukushima; however, despite all our efforts, Taiwan is always shut out in the cold. One thing the KMT would like to ask President Tsai and Premier Su: “Can you bear such an ROC representative to Japan who "puts Japan's interests first and regards Taiwan's security as nothing?”
