China Eastern Airlines' official twitter account responded The Guardian on Tuesday since the acknowledgement of the error about using the company's aircraft picture when reporting an incident on a Donghai Airlines flight and asked The Guardian to "correct it asap."

The latest report on Tuesday addressing a brawling incident within a Donghai Airlines' flight crew members used the wrong attached picture of China Eastern Airlines' A320 aircraft, which was the second time The Guardian used an incorrect photo for Chinese flight companies.

On February 22, The Guardian had used the wrong picture of an Air China Boeing 747 aircraft when reporting a flight incident which occurred in the Netherlands. Air China said the mistake brought negative influence to the company's reputation and had sent lawyers' letter to The Guardian.

The Chinese embassy in the UK also requested a formal public apology for the irresponsible and misleading report published by The Guardian which affected Chinese companies and misled the readers. However, The Guardian didn't make any public apology aside from replacing the incorrect image.
