The recent Japan\/China conflict came to a resolution quicker than anticipated as it was announced<\/a> that the Chinese fishing captain will be released today.\u00a0 He was being held in Okinawa, and a prosecutor there said, “We have decided that further investigation while keeping the captain in custody would not be appropriate, considering the impact on the people of our country, as well as the Japan-China relations in the future.”\u00a0 However, the case will not be officially closed in order to leave room ‘for some ambiguity that would allow both countries to save face.’\u00a0 Some in Tokyo showed dissatisfaction with the decision, including conservative governor Shintaro Ishihara who claimed that Japan had caved in to Chinese pressure.\u00a0 Online communities in both countries were buzzing, with the Chinese side saying “Yatta<\/em>!” and the Japanese side being more critical.\u00a0 Things may not be over yet though.\u00a0 Currently four employees of the construction company Fujita are being questioned by authorities in China after traveling there to prepare for a project to dispose of chemical weapons abandoned in China by the Japanese military during World War II.\u00a0 They have been charged with entering a military zone without authorization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
