The incident was near disputed waters. If this fisherman did this in Tokyo harbor, no one, not the Chinese or Japanese would care.

I'm sure the fisherman thought he was in Chinese waters. I don't like how the Koreans took over Takeshima Island by military force, I don't want to see my country of Japan doing the same thing. The dispute over the island should be done with scientist and archaeologist from many nations including the U.S. and Europe to determine who has been using the island over the centuries. This goes for Takeshima too. Let's find out the facts once and for all. Not just drive people out at gun point.

@MMM I still believe Japan should have its own military, and if U.S. is an allie then China won't be a military threat. England, France, Canada etc.. can depend on the U.S. for help against a stronger foe, so can Japan.
