SHIJIAZHUANG, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- Four Japanese are being investigated in China for having entered a military zone without authorization and illegally videotaped military targets in northern Hebei Province, local state security authorities said Thursday.

The state security authorities in Shijiazhuang, capital of Hebei, have taken measures against the four people according to law after receiving a report about their illegal activities.

The authorities only gave one name of the four Japanese nationals, Sada Takahashi.

"Currently, the case is being investigated," the state security authorities in Shijiazhuang said in a statement.

No further details were provided.

Should have kept it black. This is not going to help the fishing captain situation.

Why? If Japanese asked for those 4 people first it would seem like China is merely making up a reason for detaining them.

Good move, just like the cold war era between US and USSR, if you caught ours, we will get yours, exchange later, problem solve.

I couldn't give a damn about the Japanese and their reaction, it's the reaction at internally I'm worried about. Gas on a fire.

I don't think its as serious as you may think. More than not people will call it a good job done.

I see no reason to worry about Chinese people's reactions. Contrary to what the Western media loves to portray, nationalism in China isn't widespread.

This news about Japanese spies is the fifth most commented news on Tencent's QQ portal at the moment, lagging far behind local stories like 'Young girl jumped to her death after being sexually assaulted by policemen' (the no.1 story at the moment) or 'poverty stricken county in Anhui builds government office building eight times the size of the White House' which is the second hottest story.

I think the effects of popular nationalism on Chinese foreign policy is being exaggerated by Western media in search of stories. The Chinese government probably won't mind such exaggeration as it strengthens their hands in negotiations.

Let's hope so. An escalation in public furor may restrict the ways the Government can deal with this. At this point they cannot and should not back down but they should be given room to manoeuvre.

Materialism and sexually suggestive media have negative influence on people.
People may not be aware of it at first but they'll sink deeper and not realise it.

It's not an exaggeration at all.

Kurt Vonnegut that crazy old kook may be right about Television.
