<h1>Taiwan fishing boat captain accused of cross-border and detained by the Japanese side</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Keely Smith.aspx'>Keely Smith</a></strong><br /><p>A Taiwan fishing boat suspected of straying into Japanese waters, the captain was detained by the Japanese side. Current events unit, through the intervention of Foreign Affairs, Taiwan called on the Japanese side, without conclusive evidence, the captain should be released as soon as possible. The captain has been in custody since his arrest Wednesday after their ship collided with two Japanese patrol boats near the chain of uninhabited islands in dispute. No one was injured, and the two Japanese ships suffered minor damage. The probability that a trial increased as the Japanese Coast Guard delivered more than 41 years of age, master of Zhan Qixiong prosecutors for further investigation to decide whether to officially charge in the case, spokesman for the Japan Coast Guard Masahiro Ichijo said. Beijing reacted with quick criticism. Niwa Uichiro the Japanese ambassador has been summoned twice to see the Assistant Foreign Minister Hu Zhengyue, who demanded that the Chinese ship be released immediately. The crews, who have no passports, are waiting in the boat. The captain could be released in a couple of days if it recognizes the charge of obstructing public functions resulting in the collision and pay a fine, Ichijo said. If not, would probably have to stand trial. The authorities also were questioning the ship remaining 14 crew members, who are free to return to China if the Chinese send a ship to pick them up, said the Coast Guard. The Chinese government has reiterated his claim to the Diaoyu islands and their adjacent waters, urging Japan not to patrol there. "The Japanese side application of national law to the operation of Chinese fishing boat in this area is absurd, illegal and invalid," the spokesman said Chinese Foreign Ministry Jiang Yu at a press conference on Thursday. China can not accept that, he said. She said that territorial disputes are very sensitive and improper handling can seriously affect "the great interests of China-Japan relations." Beijing has also sent "a surveillance boat fishing right" to the disputed area "to safeguard order in the relevant fishing area and protect the safety of fishermen and their assets," said Jiang. She declined to say whether the ship lists the remaining fishermen, or what he would do there. Official media of China warned on Thursday of setbacks in relations if Japan did not release Mr. Zhan. The latest incident occurred during a seasonal wave of Chinese fishing boats in the disputed territory in recent weeks. Has seen from mid-August, the Coast Guard up to 270 Chinese fishing boats near disputed islands days, with 70 falling by them in Japanese waters, "said Dr. Ichijo, added that it usually a seasonal trend by the increase of fish in the region.</p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pickjuicycouture.com"><strong>juicy couture daydreamer</strong></a> handbag is the most popular style handbag <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pickjuicycouture.com"><strong>juicy couture</strong></a> offers.Come here to find out why <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pickjuicycouture.com"><strong>juicy couture handbags</strong></a> are so popular. <p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Taiwan-fishing-boat-captain-accused-of-cross-border-and-detained-by-the-Japanese-side_32522.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Taiwan fishing boat captain accused of cross-border and detained by the Japanese side_32522.aspx</a></p>
