What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame this as a White House state visit for Xi with a strong focus on ceremony, menu, guest lists, and the leaders’ public remarks, and several, including Reuters, AP, CBS, CNBC and the New York Times, also note the symbolic-gifts moment or the state dinner itself. A separate thread runs through NBC News, Axios, Reuters, NPR, CBS, BBC and the Guardian, which foreground the media-access fight; NBC and the Guardian are among the outlets that say reporters were still being kept out despite a court order. Only the South China Morning Post dwells on Chinese CEOs and business optics, while France 24 uniquely highlights Trump’s tarmac greeting.
