TOKYO -- U.S. Ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, said Friday that Chinese fishing boats are operating in Japan's exclusive economic zone despite their government's ban on all Japanese seafood -- needling Beijing just a day after a report that he had been asked to stop doing so.

"They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Chinese vessels fishing off Japan's coast on September 15th, post China's seafood embargo from the same waters. #Fukushima," Emanuel wrote on social media.
