What every side reports

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng ahead of a planned summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Where the framing diverges

Both outlets report the same core meeting and its purpose, but the New York Post adds specific details not mentioned by CBS News, such as the meeting's location (the JPMorgan Chase headquarters in midtown Manhattan) and that trade was a discussion topic. The framing is largely similar, with slight differences in tone from word choice like 'huddles' versus 'meets'.
