"There were instances when plant workers had no other choice but to dump it into the sea or temporarily put it inside a basement or temporary water tanks, Matsumoto recalled."
I wonder how much untreated water has been dumped in the sea already?

I noticed how archaic their computers are (were).

For their batons.
Thank you, and as there are two cylinders it's for traffic directing use.

Cheers.

Serious question please.
What are the plastic cylinders on the front of the bikes? Someone said to hold the big riot sticks, is that correct?
Thanks.

Yes, the handshake picture is interesting. Wang Yi has Putins outstretched hand drawn in very close to his body.
It looks like Wang has kept his hand and arm close so making Putin reach out to him.
