This is the best summary I could come up with:
The picture of Xi Jinping and Joe Biden on a stroll in a Californian country estate continues headlining Chinese media a day after what Beijing has hailed as a “historic” summit.
A string of visits to Beijing by senior US officials this year sought to repair the damage - and Thursday’s meeting on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit was seen as a breakthrough in itself.
In an attempt to portray the meeting as putting fraught relations back on course, CCTV showed footage of Mr Xi being “warmly greeted” by his US counterpart upon his arrival at the Filoli Estate, the country house near San Francisco where they met.
“Biden also invited Xi to join him for a walk around the estate and personally escorted him to his car [at the end of the meeting],” wrote People’s Daily.
“The enduring strength of such amicable bonds has always served as a wellspring of vitality for bilateral ties, both in favourable and in challenging times,” said the piece, which was accompanied by a dozen pictures of Mr Xi’s visits to the US.
The sudden shift in tone was not lost on everyone: “Love or hate - the difference is just a moment,” a user wrote on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
