Reviewing a number of the most relevant narrative items indicates that Ecns.cn presents a positive portrayal of China’s foreign policy, emphasizing its commitment to friendship and cooperation with both the EU and the US. The language used is largely optimistic, featuring phrases such as "pragmatic cooperation" and "win-win scenario," which highlight the potential benefits of collaboration over confrontation. This framing reflects an intention to project China as a reasonable and constructive player on the global stage, seeking dialogue rather than conflict. However, while the tone is generally congenial, there are elements of bias, as the source primarily reinforces China's position while critiquing US policies, suggesting an underlying agenda to counteract negative perceptions in the West. In contrast, if you were to compare this with Western outlets, you might find a stark difference in tone, with those sources often adopting a more cautious or critical approach to China's intentions, thus showcasing the divergent perspectives based on the origin of the reporting.
