such as NHK, TBS and Fuji, frontpaged their news bulletin on June 6 with a
video showing a Chinese vessel sinking a Vietnamese fishing boat on May 26 in
Vietnam’s Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago.
Chinese boat crash into Vietnamese fishing ship

These media agencies
clearly depicted scenes when the Chinese ships chased until it sunk a
Vietnamese fishing vessel. Fuji said the images are proof of China’s inhumane
actions.
NHK noted that Vietnam’s
fishing ship was attacked several times from behind by a much larger Chinese
ship. Due to the powerful collision, the Vietnamese ship was unable to maintain
control and sunk, it reported.
TBS, Fuji and TV Asahi also
showed clear images of China’s ship chasing the Vietnamese vessel until it
later capsised.
Other leading media
agencies of Japan, including Nikkei, Yomiuri and Kyodo, reported news on
Vietnam releasing images of China’s attack against Vietnam, and commented that
these images strongly contradict China’s statement accusing Vietnam of sinking
its ship.
