Japan has told China that a Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer that sailed into Chinese territorial waters in July despite repeated warnings by Chinese vessels did so inadvertently, diplomatic sources said Sunday, adding that the captain has been replaced for what was viewed as a serious error.

Observers say the incident, which occurred as the destroyer Suzutsuki was monitoring Chinese military drills on the high seas, calls into question the skill levels of MSDF personnel. Tokyo is also considering disciplinary measures against other crew members, the sources said.

Japan has unofficially informed China about its findings as well as the captain's dismissal. The incident triggered a protest from Beijing.

In the early morning of July 4, the Suzutsuki sailed for some 20 minutes in Chinese waters within 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) of the coast of Zhejiang Province.

When an MSDF base made an inquiry after noticing the destroyer's entry into Chinese waters, the male officer with the rank of commander, serving as the Suzutsuki's captain, responded that he was "not aware" the ship had sailed into an "off-limits area," according to the sources.

The officer had assumed command of the ship in May this year. An investigation conducted following the incident also revealed that there were flaws in relaying information from other crew members on duty when the destroyer entered Chinese waters, the sources said.

After reaching home, the traumatised child narrated her ordeal to her family and informed them how the monkeys "saved her from the accused".
Her father said, "My daughter was playing outside when the accused took her away. The man could be seen in nearby CCTV footage, walking on a narrow lane with my daughter. He is yet to be identified though. He also threatened my child that he would kill me... My daughter would have been dead by now if the monkeys had not intervened."

Construction and mining labor... lol. Often they are begging on the street. The ones which do work regular jobs you will likely find in sales, trading, or something like that. A lot of them are merchants of some sort. Gypsies doing heavy labor. Nice joke.

I'm not discrediting your experiences with them. But historically they have been involved. Feudal times they did hard labor and under WWII German occupation they also did hard labor. One of their names Băieși is basically Romanian for "miners." Soviet times they were part of the mass industrialization and did construction. Their craftsman heritage also carried over to now so you get these gypsy handymen.

There also were good amounts of them that received proper education especially during the Soviet era. Many high performers / doctors and nurses / politicos today disguise their origins to evade stigma.

They clearly have a culture based around poverty, patriarchy, and lack of education, but talking as if their complete estrangement is their own fault is absurd... No kind of recompense for the Holocaust either. Still calling them Indians or Egyptians when they've been in Europe since 1100.

Been thinking about it. While chess is about abstract thinking and calculations, wasting peoples braincells on a game like that full time might be a a mistake. The USSR dominated the chess scene for years and yet in real life they made a massive blunder to throw away their government system. So basically it hasn't really helped them make the best moves. Kasparov with all his talent couldn't even do politics right to become chess federation president.

That doesn't discount China talent. But the thing is they just happen to be good at it even though they don't even care about it as much as Go. So the obsession is not there.
