Comments on differences By Eunice

BEIJING, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Two Japanese patrol boats collided with a Chinese fishing boat in waters off the Diaoyu islands earlier Tuesday. Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Song Tao urged the Japanese patrol boats to stop their illegal interception against Chinese fishing boats. ( TOKYO, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- A local court in Japan's Okinawa Prefecture granted on Friday a request by prosecutors for a 10-day detention through Sept. 19 for the captain of a Chinese trawler which collided with Japanese patrol ships off Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea on Tuesday, according to Kyodo News report. (

Key word from the reports of China: illegal inalienable part were arrested decided to postpone Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao Chinese territory illegally detained

A short conclusion for the UK: UK doesn’t care much about the event. The newspapers just report the beginning and end of the incident and shortly reported the stories between it. But UK supports Japan, and that has been shown in the report.

China : criticize Japan and protect the area China reports news objectively and convey its view by convinced words. UK : quotes words a lot instead of state its own opinion directly UK report news and convey its view directly by quoting words.

What the differences mean By Alice

· the problem about the Diaoyu Island · tried to get their own purpose

UK: · do not want to join this dispute · they prefer to get the benefits to themselves · But UK supports Japan

China: · cares about the whole process of the event · state the event in details · try to protect its own right to keep area completing · cared people’s safe very much
