Japanese authorities arrested a Chinese ship captain on Monday for not declaring a recent visit to a North Korean port, according to local media.
The captain’s detention was possible under Japan’s stricter autonomous sanctions on the DPRK, which prevent ships from entering Japanese ports if they visited North Korea within the previous six months.
