Summary: In Tokyo's main international airport, a man Feng Zhenghu has decided to end his protest of allowing him back into his country. Feng Zhenghu has been protesting in Tokyo's main international airport for 12 weeks about how China is refusing to let him back in. He was protesting over the internet with his laptop, blogging and sending messages through twitter about this ban. In the past, Feng made the Chinese government furious by supporting student protests, and alleged wrongdoings by local authorities, and for his doing, he was sent to 3 years of jail time. Feng was not granted the entry into China 8 times since June. He stopped his protesting when the Chinese Embassy staff visited him at the airport, and he believes that he'll be allowed back into his country soon.

Compare and Contrast: These two sources had pretty much the same information on the situation and facts about the man who was part of the situation, Feng Zhenghu. These two sources and a lot of the same quotes as well. The titles of the articles were not completely different, but the MSN article does not have the word "set" in their title, when the BBC article does. The lengths of these two articles are completely different from one another, the MSN article certainly looks more bigger than the BBC article.

Opinion: My opinion about the coverage is that its very clear and straightforward, this was not a confusing read at all. The first time I began to read the coverage, I immediately knew what the situation was without thinking twice. The coverage provided enough information/facts for me to read, and overall it was a very good article. My opinion about the event is that it is just terrible how China won't let back Feng Zhenghu into his own home, and it is a nice thing to see Feng fight for his rights to go home. I think China should let Feng back into his home, I don't find it a very good reason for China to ban Feng from his home because of what he believes in.
