Japan seized a Chinese fishing vessel and arrested its captain after the vessel allegedly fled an inspection in Japan's exclusive economic zone. The boat was seized off southwest Nagasaki prefecture and carried ten other people. The incident is the first involving a Chinese vessel since 2022. Tensions rose after Japan's conservative leader Sanae Takaichi suggested a Chinese attack on Taiwan could trigger a Japanese military response. China has summoned the Japanese ambassador, warned citizens against visiting Japan, conducted joint air drills with Russia, tightened export controls, and suspended imports of Japanese seafood. Tensions also involve territorial disputes including the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands and recent radar-locking incidents near Okinawa.
