Japanese authorities have seized a Chinese fishing boat and arrested its captain for allegedly fleeing inspection while within Japan's exclusive economic zone near Nagasaki in southwest Japan. The captain, a 47-year-old Chinese national, was arrested on Thursday and is accused of ignoring orders to stop for an on-board inspection, the fisheries agency said in a statement.
The incident comes amid a major diplomatic spat between Asia's two largest economies.
