China says object resembling artillery shell found in Papua New Guinea is just a harmless ‘wine bottle’

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the dispute over an object found in Papua New Guinea, with China’s explanation and the artillery-shell description at the center of the coverage. The Independent uses the “harmless wine bottle” framing in its headline and adds the detail that police last week arrested four Chinese nationals, while BBC News frames it as a “weapon or wine bottle?” question and uniquely notes that police had earlier dismissed speculation that the 32kg object was “merely a dummy.”
