| U.S. sailor arrested in Okinawa for suspected rape |
|
| A U.S. serviceman stationed in Japan's southern island of Okinawa was arrested on suspicion of raping a woman, Japanese police said on Monday, likely adding to complications for a controversial plan to relocate a U.S. airbase on the island. The government in Tokyo and authorities in Okinawa have long been at loggerheads over the relocation of the U.S. Marines' Futenma airbase, which is in an urban area of the southern island. The Japanese government accepted a court-mediated settlement plan this month to halt construction work related to the relocation and resume talks with Okinawa authorities, who want the base off the island altogether. |
| China steps up war of words with United States over human rights |

China was infuriated last week when the United States and 11 other countries at the United Nations criticised China's crackdown on human rights and its detentions of lawyers and activists. At a press conference arranged by the Cabinet's news department for mostly Chinese reporters, four academics at government-run bodies lambasted the United States for what they said was hypocritical criticism of China and others. |
