FRAMING GAP
87/100HIGH
Perspectives diverge strongly
Here are the main framing differences identified between media coverages.
ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
GERMANYSTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Berlin reads the Trump-Xi summit with structured caution, attentive to the commercial diversion effects that any bilateral U.S.-China agreement could impose on European and German industry.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Trump declares that China is interested in purchasing American oil and Boeing aircraft, per Tagesschau (May 15, 2026)
- •Tagesschau frames the meeting in interrogative form—'Cooperation instead of confrontation?'—signaling editorial distance from Washington's announcements
- •The Chip-Rally (semiconductor equity rally) continues on financial markets alongside the summit, reflecting anticipation of U.S.-China commercial de-escalation
BIASES
Economy-centric framing: coverage privileges the commercial angle and potential effects on German and European industry at the expense of regional geopolitical issuesPreference for skeptical approach: the use of a question mark in Tagesschau's main headline signals editorial caution regarding Trump's triumphant declarationsLimited security dimension coverage: Taiwan, South China Sea issues, and military cooperation are absent from German coverage, which focuses on commerce
IRAQDOMINANT ANGLE
Baghdad reads the Beijing summit as an opportunity for regional de-escalation, even as the American-Iranian conflict starves its oil exports, undermines its public finances, and exposes its territory to external military pressures.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •A Chinese tanker carrying Iraqi crude seeks to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening petroleum revenues on which over 90 percent of Iraq's budget depends (Iraqi News)
- •Iraq seeks emergency financial assistance from the IMF due to regional turbulence stemming from the American-Iranian conflict (Iraqi News)
- •Saudi fighter jets have struck militias on Iraqi territory during the regional conflict, undermining Baghdad's sovereignty (Iraqi News)
BIASES
Economy-focused framing: Iraqi coverage emphasizes petroleum and budget impacts over the summit's diplomatic dimensionsPreference for regional stability: Iraqi media views any Sino-American accord primarily through its effects on the Iran conflictLimited coverage of Chinese positions: Iraq's angle downplays Beijing's strategic interests to focus on immediate local effects
