KMT caucus calls for resignation of envoy to Japan By Chen Yun and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus yesterday demanded that President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) remove Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) as the nation’s representative to Japan and issue a public apology over his statements about wastewater discharge. Japan on April 13 announced that it plans to release treated wastewater from the disabled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant into the ocean, despite protests from neighboring countries. While he lodged a protest to Tokyo on behalf of the government, Hsieh said in a Facebook post that he could not overlook the fact that Taiwan also discharges water from three nuclear power plants into the ocean.
