Support for Japan PM falls sharply over China row
Local Japanese News In English
Public support for Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan has dropped sharply over his government's handling of a territorial row with China, polls showed Monday.
The surveys were conducted at the weekend as the war of words rumbled on over the September 8 arrest by Japan of a Chinese trawler captain near disputed islands in the East China Sea.
China reacted strongly to the arrest, refusing high-level meetings and reportedly blocking commodities shipments to Japan. (AFP)
