Japan should collaborate with international partners to better tackle the contaminated water from its damaged Fukushima reactors, argues Gao Zhiguo, honorary dean of Hainan University's Law School, in a Global Times article published on April 30.

The Global Times is an English-language newspaper under the People's Daily based in Beijing. 

Gao's article proposes the "Better Discharge Initiative" which calls for countries in the region to come together and help draft emergency and prevention plans, as well as to take responsibility for data exchange, environmental impact assessments, and the development of scientific standards.

Gao was also invited by the Shanghai Institute of International Organizations and Global Governance to deliver a report on the initiative.
