It's an appropriate sentence in my opinion. The problem really isn't with the fishermen, it's with the Chinese government.

Now take your ball home and don't come back to the ball park. China paid the fine, and will be back.

At least he was punished under Japanese law. The maximum sentence would have been three years and a 4 million yen fine.
