FRAMING GAP
86/100HIGH
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
SPAINDOMINANT ANGLE
Madrid observes the Trump-Xi summit with marked editorial distance, Spanish media on May 14-15 prioritizing migration, social, and climate coverage over direct Sino-American diplomacy.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Spanish media outlets provided no direct Trump-Xi summit coverage on May 14-15, signaling lower editorial priority for Sino-American diplomacy in Madrid's news agenda
- •El Pais and The Local Spain prioritized Latin American migration, French social change, and climate issues over bilateral great-power negotiations
- •Spain's fourth-largest eurozone economy faces real tariff exposure from Washington-Beijing agreements, yet immediate economic consequences remained uncertain
BIASES
Spanish media demonstrates stronger geographic focus on Latin American and Mediterranean affairs than on Asia-Pacific geopolitical developmentsEditorial distance from the Trump-Xi summit reflects Spanish press orientation toward European and transatlantic frames over bilateral great-power dynamicsEconomic consequences of Sino-American negotiations treated as insufficiently concrete or immediate to justify priority newsroom coverage
