Japan, facing mounting pressure from China, unconditionally released a Chinese trawler captain whose ship had rammed a Japanese naval patrol boat. And US President Barack Obama did nothing when Israel refused to extend its freeze on new building construction in the West Bank, causing Israeli West Bank settlers to rejoice.
发自新加坡——全世界最近见证了两件重大外交争端。首先是在中国不断加码的压力之下，日本无条件释放了一名曾驾船与日本海洋巡逻船相撞的中国渔船船长；另外就是以色列拒绝延长西岸定居点冻结期，而美国总统奥巴马对此束手无策，当地的以色列定居者更是欢庆不已。
