Tokyo, June 24 (Jiji Press)–Chinese authorities took two Japanese nationals into custody in May on suspicion of violating the country’s law for cracking down on the smuggling of banned items, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said Wednesday. One of them was detained on May 18 and the other on May 25, the top Japanese government spokesman told a press conference, adding that neither of them has health problems. The Chinese side reported the detention to the Japanese Consulate-General in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and the Japanese Consular Office in Dalian in the northeastern China province, according to Kihara. “We will respond appropriately from the perspective of protecting Japanese nationals while keeping contact with the detained individuals and others concerned,” he said.
