Japan seizes Chinese fishing vessel, arrests captain
TOKYO: Japan seized a Chinese fishing boat and arrested its skipper, authorities said Friday, an incident that could deepen a spat between the Asian giants. The episode on Thursday off southern Japan came three months after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggested that Japan would intervene militarily if Beijing sought to take Taiwan by force. China swiftly reacted to the seizure, the Japanese fisheries’ agency first since 2022 of a Chinese fishing boat, by urging Japan to protect the rights of Chinese crew.
