Hours after Chinese Leader Xi Jinping was confirmed to meet with President Donald Trump at the upcoming G20 Summit, China’s state broadcaster changed the programming to air an old propaganda movie that portrayed the United States in a positive light.

The airing stood in stark contrast to the spate of Anti-American films that had played on the state broadcaster since trade tensions between the two countries heated up in early May.
