China: modern China, space and contested topics, sentence 6

Like a referee who first tells the facts everyone saw, then says what each side claims, he names each topic as contested and lets families talk at home.

Who acts: referee, everyone, side, families · What happens: tell, see, say, claim, name, contest · To what, where: facts, topic, home · Speech: someone speaks here
