Japan summoned China's ambassador on Monday to protest against a flood of nuisance calls from China to local businesses following the release of water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Deputy Foreign Minister Masataka Okano told 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.
Social media users in China have posted recordings and videos of these calls, some of which have attracted tens of thousands of likes and a large number of comments. Japan's embassy over the weekend urged the tens of thousands of Japanese living in China to keep a low profile and not talk loudly in public.
