TOKYO (AFP) – A video apparently capturing a collision between vessels from China and Japan which sparked an ongoing diplomatic row was posted on YouTube Friday, prompting Beijing to express concern, Tokyo's foreign minister said.
The Japanese coastguard arrested a Chinese trawler captain two months ago for allegedly ramming two of its patrol boats near a disputed island chain in the East China Sea, sparking a barrage of protests from Beijing.
Video footage of the incident taken by the coastguard had so far been shown only to Prime Minister Naoto Kan, security officials and some lawmakers, but not released to the public for fear it would worsen the spat.
