HONG KONG -- A small Hong Kong fishing boat that rocked Sino-Japanese relations to a historic low in 2012 has sunk, according to the city's patriotic activist organization that owned and operated the vessel.
Chan Yu-nam, chairman of the Action Committee for Defending the Diaoyu Islands, told reporters Monday that the boat, Kai Fung No. 2, sank in July 2021 after lacking money for maintenance.
