• Uses honorifics and titles like 'President Xi Jinping' and 'Chinese President' consistently
• Foregrounds Xi's speeches and quotes as authoritative and newsworthy
• Highlights international praise and events promoting Xi's governance philosophy
• Frames Xi's actions as proactive and beneficial (e.g., 'urges', 'stresses', 'highlights')

All headlines are uniformly positive, with no critical or distancing language. The outlet amplifies Xi's statements and celebrates his leadership, indicating a promotional stance. No negative or skeptical framing detected.

• Direct quotation of Trump's statements without evaluative framing
• Use of neutral verbs like 'says', 'suggests', 'weighs'
• Balanced coverage of both Trump's actions and reactions from other leaders
• Occasional critical framing from third parties (e.g., China dismisses, Denmark holds firm)

Coverage is largely factual and neutral, with no consistent positive or negative slant toward Trump. Some headlines report criticism of Trump (e.g., China dismisses claim, Denmark holds firm), but these are attributed to others, not the outlet's own voice. The outlet amplifies Trump's statements without distancing verbs, which could suggest a slight positive treatment, but overall stance remains neutral.

• Frequent use of 'Trump' as the primary actor, often in assertive or threatening contexts
• Selection highlights US actions that are controversial or negative (ICE shootings, threats, occupation claims)
• Quotes from US officials are often framed with distancing verbs or in contexts of conflict
• Inclusion of critical external voices (e.g., Pew survey, Jeffrey Sachs) that undermine US standing

The outlet often reports US actions neutrally, but the selection and framing lean toward highlighting US aggression, internal problems, and international criticism. The entity is the US as a country, not a single leader; coverage of Trump is mixed but overall skeptical. Some headlines are purely factual (e.g., SpaceX launch), reducing uniformity.

• Foregrounds Chinese leadership achievements and milestones
• Uses positive framing for Chinese policies and actions
• Amplifies official statements without critical distance
• Highlights international support and recognition of China

The outlet is state-owned and consistently presents China in a favorable light; coverage of disputes (e.g., Ren'ai Jiao) frames China as responding to provocations, reinforcing a positive stance toward the entity.

• Uses respectful titles and terms like 'late Supreme Leader' and 'Ayatollah'
• Foregrounds Iranian military actions as responses to US attacks
• Reports Iranian statements without distancing verbs or scare quotes
• Highlights Iranian mourning and diplomatic efforts

The outlet reports Iranian military actions factually, but the framing (e.g., 'initial response to US attacks', 'cunning American enemy' in quoted material) and the sympathetic coverage of Khamenei's funeral suggest a favorable stance toward Iran. However, some headlines are neutral or report on pauses and diplomacy, so the stance is not uniformly positive.
