What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on Japanese authorities raiding the country’s four biggest breweries, and both name Asahi, Kirin, Suntory and Sapporo. The Guardian US foregrounds the wider suspicion of collusion to set beer and other beverage prices and adds market-share context that the four control more than 90% of Japan’s beer market. BBC News is more restrained, reporting the premises searches and noting that the companies confirmed them; that confirmation appears only in its extract.
