Japan concludes rescue operation for Chinese sailors aboard sunken cargo ship
The Japan Coast Guard said Sunday that Japan has concluded the search and rescue operation for missing Chinese sailors on a sunken cargo ship as their chances of surviving were very slim.
Chinese naval vessels were spotted in waters near a southern Japanese island Tuesday, marking the first time that the nation's ships have closed in on Japanese waters since diplomatic relations between the two countries took a nose-dive after Japan nationalized a chain of disputed islets.
