The chapters

This story continues an earlier wave: Xi Jinping visits Washington for summit with Trump, 24 to 26 Sept 2026, 25 outlets.

The figures

Coverage: 18 outlets in 13 countries, across 4 regions, 1 of them trade press. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 18 outlets, 2 state-owned, 1 public-service, 15 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Americas 2: Guatemala, United States. Asia-Pacific 7: Bangladesh, China, Japan, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan. Europe 2: Poland, United Kingdom. Middle East 2: Lebanon, Turkey. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.
Languages: Arabic, English, Spanish, Nepali, Polish.
Timeline: Earliest article Taipei Times, 27 Sept 2026, 00:00 UTC. First seen 27 Sept 2026, 13:50 UTC. Last seen 29 Sept 2026, 21:03 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
Classification: Region International. Topic Politics. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
Score: None now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
Chain: Continues Xi Jinping visits Washington for summit with Trump. Continued by ‘Hold the status quo’? US Congress reviews Xi-Trump summit outcomes; China-US summit ends with numerous agreements including AI and trade; 自由開講》川習二會：紅毯很長成果卻短; The Trump-Xi summit leaves Taiwan in limbo; Commentary: Why do Trump and Xi keep meeting if the hard issues remain unresolved?; Xi-Trump meeting’s takeaways, successes and fallout: 7 US-China relations reads; Taiwan analysts say Trump-Xi summit produced no policy shift but real test lies ahead; Editorial: Trump y Xi: mucha pompa, pocos acuerdos y tranquilizadoras señales de estabilidad; Trump e Xi compram tempo; Trump and Xi’s ‘stalemate’ summit was a glitzy gift to China; ‘Limits to what two of them can agree upon’: Jaishankar after Trump-Xi meet; هل تتجه علاقات واشنطن وبكين نحو استقرار استراتيجي بعد قمة ترامب وشي؟. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
Day by day: Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
