Lately we’ve begun including news stories from Chinese-language sources in our daily briefs. Today, one of those briefs was on the 17-hour episode from the weekend in which seven Chinese citizens in Islamabad, Pakistan were kidnapped by Islamic radicals. An interesting discrepancy turns up when reading Chinese and foreign media on the incident: International reports say that the hostages were abducted from the massage parlor where they worked, which the kidnappers, accusing them of “immoral activities”, believed doubled as a brothel. Chinese media reports of the incident, however, either don’t mention what they were doing (saying they were taken from their homes) or say they worked at a “clinic” (诊所).
