Credit: Reuters/Xinhua/Chen Jianli By Lucy Hornby and Chisa Fujioka BEIJING/TOKYO | Sun Sep 26, 2010 3:25am EDT BEIJING/TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan waded into an acrimonious dispute over Japan's detention of a Chinese fisherman on Sunday, dismissing China's demands for an apology and compensation as out of the question. The row has bounced back and forth between the two sides with demands for an apology and rejections, illustrating the fragility of ties between Asia's two biggest economies troubled by Chinese memories of wartime occupation and maritime territorial disputes. Fishing trawler captain Zhan Qixiong was released and arrived back in China on Saturday after his boat collided with Japanese patrol ships on Sept 7 near disputed islets, known as the Diaoyu in Chinese and Senkaku in Japanese. His trawler and crew had earlier been freed. The waters are believed to be rich in oil and natural gas. Kan reiterated his government's stance that the Chinese demands for an apology and amends were groundless. "Senkaku is a Japanese territory. From that point of view, apology or compensation is unthinkable," he told reporters. "I have no intention at all of meeting (the demand)." Tokyo came under criticism from domestic media for "caving in" to Chinese pressure by releasing the captain after China detained four Japanese citizens, although Japanese officials have denied the linkage. The four were detained on suspicion of violating the law regarding protection of Chinese military facilities, though the exact offence is not clear. Japan's former foreign minister on Saturday that international perceptions of China would be hurt by its refusal to back down. "It was our territory and there was no fault in arresting him in accordance with the law," Katsuya Okada, secretary-general of the ruling Democratic Party and foreign minister until a September 17 cabinet reshuffle, told public broadcaster NHK. "There have been views that this affair was a complete defeat for Japan, but this was a loss for China. China showed the world what kind of a country it is." A Japanese man was arrested in Nagasaki, western Japan, on Sunday after he threw what appeared to be a smoke flare into the grounds of the Chinese consulate general, Kyodo news agency said. The consulate general was unstaffed, and no one was injured, Kyodo said, adding that police believed the incident could be related to the territorial spat. Freed captain Zhan told China Central Television he was eager to return for more fishing.

MaiO Report As Abusive Sep 26, 2010 2:16am EDT The picture of the captain reminds me of Nixon famous line “I am not a crook”. MaiO Report As Abusive Sep 26, 2010 2:45am EDT My last comment may not have been sent complete. I here send again, but please, delete it if the last one had been successfully sent. I am a Japanese who used to live in Australia. As soon as this dispute disrupted I contacted all my Chinese acquaintances living in Japan in hope to assure them that they are still welcome no matter what happens on the government level…None of them has returned my mails. My disappointment is nothing compared to the fate of the four Japanese workers detained by the Chinese Government who had travelled there for technical guidance in hope to right the past. It is their employer Fujita’s policy, if I am to trust media. But it may be safe to assume that I was not the only one doing what one could to touch the heart of Chinese people even in the smallest way. Every little thing would count…or so I believed. I had been encouraged by the fact that my Australian friends had kindly responded to my years of effort. (It’s another one of the countries my people could have treated with more respect.) I am grateful to Australians for having the most generous heart. I should have collected my thoughts before blurting out like this and my apology if I have annoyed anyone. It’s just I’m gutted that I have failed, that I no longer know what makes Chinese people tick. I don’t think it is greed because a huge sum of donation given annually from Japan to China has not won them over. …Can it be that they have learnt all they could from the world that they no longer need the world? I pray that I am wrong. I have to be wrong. Midori Report As Abusive See All Comments (4) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
