China saw 'surprise' jump in U.S. orders ahead of Trump-Xi summit, private survey shows
A private survey shows a rebound in China's exports to the U.S. as companies position for continued stability between the world's two largest economies.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story as U.S.-China talks about AI safety or transparency ahead of the Trump-Xi summit. NBC News is the most specific, saying the U.S. has proposed a new AI safety notification mechanism and attributing that to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent; Washington Post similarly says the sides plan to discuss “more transparency” on AI. BBC News is the least specific, saying only that top officials held talks in New York on Sunday.
