Missing from the left
Only 25 of the 65 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated left.
A reader who follows the left would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the United States is open to discussing shared risks with China in upcoming artificial intelligence (AI) talks. These discussions are scheduled to take place this weekend. The primary goal of these talks is to address the potential bifurcation of AI systems between the two countries. Bessent stated that the U.S. leads in AI innovation and is prepared to discuss both open and closed AI models.
Bessent is scheduled to meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend. This meeting precedes a potential summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which is expected to occur next week. The AI talks are part of broader diplomatic efforts between the two nations.
Disagreements in reporting
Reports differ on the specific location of the talks. Haberler.com and FNN.jpプライムオンライン state the talks are planned for New York. Akşam also mentions New York as the location. However, The Hindu and Devdiscourse do not specify a location for the AI discussions.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated digests mention the specific date of the AI talks beyond 'this weekend'. The centre-rated digest does not specify the date. None of the right-rated digests mention the specific date of the AI talks beyond 'this weekend'.
Coverage settled. We checked this 14 times and stopped on 22 Sept 2026, 16:45. The figures above are what it finished at.
How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
25 rated outlets
- All twelve left‑rated outlets published a piece on the weekend AI risk talks. The Hindu’s full article reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice‑Premier He Lifeng will meet, and that a Trump‑Xi summit is upcoming, noting the United States continues to lead in artificial intelligence and is willing to discuss shared risks. The remaining digests said the United States is open to discussing shared AI risks with China this weekend.
- The Independent, abc News, the Washington Post and the Hamilton Spectator described the story as a global AI safety strategy that hinges on US-China cooperation, citing rising concerns and hopes for a worldwide approach. The Toronto Star noted growing scepticism between the superpowers. Sueddeutsche Zeitung mentioned China’s rapid AI development, a narrowing US lead and a joint search for dialogue on security rules.
- Los Angeles Times, Business Insider, NBC News and Dnevni list Danas focused on mutual distrust and competition, warning that such tension could hinder cooperation on AI safety. None of the digests besides the Hindu identified the officials involved or the forthcoming Trump‑Xi meeting, and no outlet mentioned any cost estimate or detailed policy proposals.

Questions about this coverage
- How did the left and right cover US Open to AI Risk Talks With China This Weekend?
- Of the 65 outlets on this story carrying a published leaning rating, 39% are rated left, 33% are rated centre, 28% are rated right. Those percentages are shares of the rated outlets, not of every outlet that ran it, which was 105. The sections above set out what each side emphasised, in its own terms.
- Is US Open to AI Risk Talks With China This Weekend left or right?
- Neither side dominates it. Of the 65 rated outlets on this story, 39% are rated left, 33% are rated centre, 28% are rated right, and no side holds the 70% this site would want before calling a field one-sided. A story is not left or right in any case; the outlets that carried it are what carry ratings.
- Is the coverage of US Open to AI Risk Talks With China This Weekend biased?
- US Open to AI Risk Talks With China This Weekend is one event reported by 105 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 US Open to AI Risk Talks With China This Weekend?
- When we first saw this story, outlets rated left had barely covered it. Coverage accretes for hours after an event, so that is where to look rather than a verdict — the split above is the current count, and it is the one to read.
- Which outlets covered US Open to AI Risk Talks With China This Weekend?
- 105 that we know of, every one of them listed further up this page with a link to its own report and to what we hold on the publisher. Nothing here is a summary of somebody else's summary: the outlets are named so the original reporting can be read.
