The Chinese boat captain captured by Japan and arrested for being in territorial waters claimed by Japan has been released after China began to withhold exports of rare earth minerals to Japan late last week. That has sparked a furor in Japan, where many Japanese citizens believe the government caved in to China. Now, China is demanding an apology and compensation from Japan, something Japan has flatly denied it will do. Japan in turn is seeing compensation from China for damage caused to its naval vessels during the incident. Above, protesters rally in Hong Kong with signs saying "Japan Get Out."
