WORDS IN THE NEWS with CK

China calls them the Diaoyutai, Japan the Senkaku. In both languages the name means "fishing islands," but these days the rocky, uninhabited islands are better known for discord. Over the past week the pattern has repeated itself as ties between Japan and China have grown strained over a Sept. 8 collision between a Chinese fishing boat and two Japanese coast guard vessels near the disputed Pacific islands.

Japan's coast guard released the 14-member crew on Monday, China's state-run Xinhua news service reported, but captain Zhan Qixiong and the boat remain in Japanese custody. While Japan maintains it is handling the situation according to its own laws, China has denounced Japanese plans to investigate the collision. Beijing’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Thursday that "Japan's so-called evidence-taking is illegal, invalid and in vain."
