Japanese Fisherman Pressed to Avoid Disputed Senkaku Islands Amid China Tensions | VERTEX

Описание: Hitoshi Nakama sees himself as more than a fisherman. Sailing from his home port on Okinawa’s Ishigaki island, Nakama travels some 170 kilometres (105 miles) to the Senkaku islands where he regularly evades Chinese coast guard ships in order to harvest the bountiful waters.

Nakama and the Japanese nationalist group that funds his voyages believe that fishermen are on the frontline of Japan's claim to the islands, known as Diaoyu in Chinese. But since late last year, some Japanese officials have been discreetly urging Nakama and his peers to steer clear of the remote outcrops to avoid escalating a diplomatic clash with Beijing.
