I'm generally pro China but this whole spat is little more than a premise for protectionism of China's fishing industry. If they really cared about tritium they would do something about their own runoff which far outweighs Japan's.
Many Fukuahima residents and the Japanese national fishermen's association opposing the release of contamination of contaminated water isn't based on Chinese protectionism. English language news media has painted this as a China vs Japan issue when in fact many people inside Japan also oppose the release of contaminated water into the ocean. Especially since the plan was rushed through from announcement to implementation on the span of about a week, specifically so that domestic opposition couldn't mount until it was already too late.
Because it is one of the absolute least environmentally harmful sources of energy available to us, because base load isn't going away and by using nuclear energy we stop polluting fossil fuel plats, and hydro power that ruins eco systems in rivers.
Ahh yes, because being concerned that the idiots who keep leaking radioactive water into the environment might be less than competent is muh CPC propaganda.
You can be pro-nuclear power while still criticizing the company that keeps mishandling nuclear power.

Why do I have to be pro nuclear

You don't.
