Eight people are dead, including six Chinese, after a ship sank in waters off the coast of Japan, a Chinese diplomat said on Thursday. The 6,551-ton Jin Tian cargo vessel, carrying crew from China and Myanmar, sent a distress signal on Tuesday night from a position about 110 kilometers (68 miles) west of the remote and uninhabited Danjo Islands in far southwestern Japan.
