- China's economy is weakening on several fronts as its property bust worsens, per WSJ's headline framing.
- Reuters, Financial Times, and Axios converge on China's recovery sputtering and investment slump deepening, while Axios alone invokes 'the global stakes' — an international-spillover angle absent from the domestic-focused WSJ, Reuters, and FT titles.
