Thin on the left so far
None of the 8 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Donald Trump stated that his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was 'very productive'. Following the encounter, Trump predicted that 'great things will happen' for both the United States and China. The discussions reportedly involved artificial intelligence, with Trump also referencing 'superintelligence'.
Disagreement on specific predictions
While most reports state Trump predicted 'great things' or 'tremendous things' would happen, two outlets presented slightly different phrasing. Realitatea.net reported Trump said he was following 'extraordinary things for the United States and China.' Monitoreamos and Hola News also reported Trump announced 'extraordinary things' would happen.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated reports covered this story. The digests from the centre and right-rated outlets did not mention any specific details about potential trade agreements or breakthroughs discussed during the meeting, beyond the general topic of artificial intelligence.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover Trump says 'great things' after meeting China's Xi?
- Of the 8 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 0% are rated left, 25% are rated centre, 75% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 23. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is Trump says 'great things' after meeting China's Xi left or right?
- Too few of the outlets on this story carry a published leaning rating to say. 8 of them do, and this site does not characterise a field under 12: at that size one newsroom filing moves the share by ten points. The percentages above are the count as it stands.
- Is the coverage of Trump says 'great things' after meeting China's Xi biased?
- Trump says 'great things' after meeting China's Xi is one event reported by 23 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
- Which side is not reporting Trump says 'great things' after meeting China's Xi?
