Comments on: Kono Taro on Japan’s reaction to the Fukushima nuclear disaster https://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/?p=5593 A weekly radio program with Dr. Helen Caldicott Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:12:55 +0000 https://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Gen Kanai https://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/?p=5593&cpage=1#comment-1143 Gen Kanai Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:01:42 +0000 https://ifyoulovethisplanet.org/?p=5593#comment-1143 Dr. Caldicott, thank you for your interview with Taro Kono. He is one of the few politicians in Japan who has been speaking out against the nuclear power industry in Japan long before the Fukushima disaster. Regarding your questions on the Chinese government's increasingly belligerent tactics in the South China Sea, a recent audio report by Mary Kay Magistad on Public Radio International's "The World" is quite timely and I hope will provide some initial guidance on how the Chinese Navy (and it's unofficial surrogates in the form of Chinese fishing boats) are over-reaching national boundaries. This is the issue that Taro is concerned about and the Chinese Navy's actions are a concern for all of the regional nations. https://www.theworld.org/2012/02/philippines-china-energy/ Dr. Caldicott, thank you for your interview with Taro Kono.

Mr. Kono was quite a gentleman about it, but the host continually called him "Kono" without adding Mr., as if it was his first name!

Mr. Kono was quite a gentleman about it, but the host continually called him “Kono” without adding Mr., as if it was his first name!
