from AFP 22nd (Wed) September 2010:
BEIJING — Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao urged Japan to release a boat captain "immediately and unconditionally," state media said Wednesday, after his arrest in disputed waters set off a diplomatic crisis.
"Otherwise, China will take further measures," Wen was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua news agency in New York, where he is due to take part in UN meetings and talks with state leaders including US President Barack Obama.
The dispute erupted when a Chinese fishing trawler and two Japanese coastguard vessels collided on September 7 near disputed islands that lie in rich fishing grounds and near possible oil and gas fields.
