CHINA-JAPAN SPAT
Tokyo confirms video leak
TOKYO - JAPAN'S Coast Guard says a video showing a collision between its vessels and a Chinese fishing boat that appeared on the Internet last week is authentic.
Spokesman Shunsuke Shirase said on Monday that the coast guard is investigating how the video was leaked, and is considering criminal charges against the culprits.
The video, which appeared on YouTube on Friday, shows a Chinese fishing ship bumping a Japanese vessel as sirens wail in the background.
The Sept 7 collision sparked a high-level spat between the countries, because it occurred near a group of islands claimed by both in the East China Sea.
The video has raised concerns of renewed tensions as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation takes place in Japan this week. -- AP
