World media pays special attention to the East Sea situation
(VOVworld)- Following the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ international press conference on Thursday, the world media shows a wide coverage of China’s cruel act in the East Sea that foreign reporters have their witness accounts. Euan McKirdy from the CNN wrote that “For the media contingent, there is no direct experience of Chinese aggression as we sail up and down a furrow of the South China Sea, though from time to time we discover a Chinese Coast Guard vessel stalking us, gleaming white in the unceasing sun, but they never come closer than a couple of hundred meters.
We are, however, woken early one morning to see what the captain said was a Chinese coast guard vessel using water cannon on a Vietnamese fisheries surveillance vessel. At distance, the arc of the water looks graceful, but up close it is a vicious jet which can break windows, disrupt engines and cause electrical failure and even fires”
French newspaper “Les Echoes” editorially ran an article entitled a powerhouse getting more aggressive, warning that Chinese acts tarnish its image in the world. Other major news agencies, including Reuters, Bloomberg and the Daily Mail carried news stories about Chinese ships ramming to sink Vietnamese boats.
