Japan complains that Chinese fishermen are stealing red corals

Japan’s Sankei Shimbun reported on the 12th that suspicious Chinese ships appeared on the coast of the Ogasawara Islands, which was included in the world’s natural heritage, in order to steal high-grade corals. Suspicious vessels appear on the sea every night, and local Japanese fishermen say, "Although it is on the Japanese territory, it can only be watched." This kind of side-by-side behavior is increasing day by day, not only affecting local fishery production, but also causing widespread concern about border islands.

The report quoted Yamada Yoshihiko, a professor at Tokai University in Japan, as saying that the Chinese ship was suspected of fishing for red coral called "gem coral." This kind of coral is of good quality and can be sold at high prices in China, and some even exceed gold. According to the Japan Coral Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the price of “gem coral” has increased five times in 10 years. The average transaction volume in 2012 was 1.5 million yen (about 85,000 yuan).

According to the Sankei Shimbun, the Japan Coast Guard also confirmed suspicious vessels suspected of being around China around the Ogasawara Islands. There were 17 ships on September 15, 25 on the 23rd, and as many as 40 on October 1. Ogakihara village council president Sasaki Megumi and other eight people recently visited the Coast Guard to strengthen their garrison. On the 5th of this month, the security department of Yokohama, Japan took a Chinese fishing boat and arrested the captain and others for suspected violation of the Fisheries Management Law for Foreigners. Kosuke Sasaki told the Sankei Shimbun that "this is a problem between countries and must be resolved through inter-state negotiations."

The topic of "Chinese ships stealing Japanese corals" has also been reported by Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" and NHK TV. However, it was reported at the time that it was in the exclusive economic waters of Miyakojima, Okinawa, Japan. Whether in the Ogasawara Islands or Okinawa Miyako Island, the waters around the Diaoyu Islands, the report finally called on the Japanese government to strengthen the marine security.
