Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with US Ambassador David Perdue to discuss the bilateral relationship ahead of President Xi Jinping's expected visit to the White House on September 24. During the meeting, Wang Yi stated that while there has been an improvement in relations, there are still risks and challenges that must be addressed. He urged both nations to implement the consensus reached by their heads of state, manage differences, and overcome obstacles to ensure a stable and sustainable relationship.

Ambassador Perdue described the conversations as productive and noted that both sides are working toward a relationship characterized by strategic stability, fairness, and reciprocity. The meeting occurs amid ongoing tensions, including a tariff dispute suspended until November and recent US threats of sanctions against Iranian trading partners, which would impact China.

Both reports, coming from center right sources, frame the event as a diplomatic effort to stabilize relations. One source emphasizes the specific geopolitical frictions such as sanctions and tariffs, while the other focuses on the diplomatic preparations for the upcoming meeting between President Xi and President Donald Trump.
