Newspapers report the latest moves in the China-Japan islands row, as well as the fatal shooting of a Chinese fishermen by South Korean coast guards. <\/p>\n
China Daily says \"tension lingers\" as US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns arrived in Beijing \"as Tokyo launched a global propaganda blitz to support its claims over the islands that belong to China\". <\/p>\n
Meanwhile the Global Times, citing the Asahi newspaper in Japan, says a US-Japan military drill simulating the recapture of an island would be held in November. <\/p>\n
The Global Times says: \"Analysts said Washington has been attempting to use high-level official visits to persuade the two countries to seek a way out of the islands dispute, but at the same time is highlighting its regional interests through the joint military drill.\" <\/p>\n
A People's Daily commentary says Japan \"has been acting shamelessly\" in the row. The article is promoted on the paper's website as a front-page top story. China Daily's editorial says Japan's lobbying \"can't hide truth\". <\/p>\n
Shanghai Daily and Guangzhou's Southern Metropolis Daily report the Defence Ministry has said that its navy vessels' \"routine training and navigation in the waters is justified and legitimate\". <\/p>\n
The ministry's comment was in reply to reports from Tokyo said Japan had dispatched surveillance aircraft to follow a fleet of seven Chinese naval vessels on Tuesday morning as the flotilla sailed through waters 49km (30 miles) south of Japan's Yonaguni island and 200km from the disputed islands. <\/p>\n
The Global Times and the Beijing Times lead with the shooting in the Yellow Sea as China protested to South Korea over the fisherman's death. <\/p>\n
The Global Times' bilingual editorial says: \"When a South Korean coastal policeman was stabbed to death by a Chinese crew last December, nationalistic emotion boiled over in Seoul.
