Jellyfish Sting Japanese and Chinese Relations

Jellyfish, often considered a delicacy in Asia, have initiated further disputes between Japan and China. After the September seizure of a Chinese fishing captain by Japanese, tensions have incited riots in China. Now, the Fujian Province has reported that Chinese fisherman are outraged at the decrease in jellyfish available for harvest in the Sea of Japan.

Japanese fisherman, however, have not had a decline in jellyfish harvesting. The relations between the two countries continue to become grow more turbulent.
