Coast guard officers in Japan's Nagasaki detained a Chinese boat and its captain on Sunday on charges of violating fishing laws, according to the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.
The news agency reported that Zhang Tianxiong, the 47-year-old captain, steered his fishing boat into Japan's territorial waters at 9:30 am on Sunday. The Nagasaki coast guard signaled him to stop, but the ship changed direction and tried to elude patrols.
The boat was captured at about 3 pm the same day after hours of chasing.
