A Taiwanese fishing boat, the 'Fuyang 266,' was caught fishing near Amami Oshima in Japan and held by the Japanese Fisheries Agency. The Taiwanese owner paid a fine of approximately 1.21 million New Taiwan dollars to secure the release of the boat and its crew members, criticizing that the concept of Taiwan-Japan friendship is useless. The incident reignited discussions on fishing disputes between Taiwan and Japan, highlighting the challenges faced by fishermen operating in overlapping economic zones and the consequences of crossing established boundaries.
