[Brief translation]
Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara toured the southernmost islet Okinotorishima Island on May 20 to stress a Japanese territorial claim. Japan and China are at odds over stances of the islet. Ishihara said with smile on his face, "Making artificial fish bank will benefit fisheries industry and putting up scaffolding makes it possible to construct a power plant. There are possibilities of economic activities around and at Okinotorishima Island, so the island is not a rock at all."
