01.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Fifteen-Five Transition
⌨On January 1, 2026, Chinese state media editors completed a coordinated transition from 2025 retrospectives to the formal mobilization for the 15th Five-Year Plan. Throughout the morning, outlets like People’s Daily and CCTV saturated the information space with Xi Jinping’s New Year address, framing the previous year’s challenges—including the AI race and trade friction—as a series of 'miracles' that secured national stability. This narrative of continuity was reinforced by reports on the opening of the Xi’an-Yan'an high-speed railway, linking symbolic revolutionary sites to modern infrastructure goals.
By early afternoon, a sharp divergence emerged between domestic and external reporting. While state editors prioritized the Central Rural Work Conference and internal 'economic resilience' against Trump administration tariffs, international sources focused on escalating regional friction. Reporting shifted to Taiwanese leader Lai Ching-te’s defiant New Year speech and the subsequent cancellation of a major Japanese business delegation to Beijing, signaling a deepening diplomatic freeze that contrasted with the state’s choreographed displays of holiday prosperity.

【年终专题】被抹去的不是一个人的账号，而是一种原本可能存在的对话方式……2025年度人物：户晨风

2025年9月20日，网红主播户晨风在墙内多个平台被禁言。几天之内，他的微博、B站、抖音等多平台账号均被清空，一度连网友剪辑的“切片”和回放也难以搜索到。 在被封禁之前的两年半时间里，户晨风先以关注底层民众贫困的视频出圈，后到泰国、新西兰、韩国等地街访，拍摄全球购买力挑战系列视频。他的账号多次面临审查限制，但在限制解除后又复出。每次重生后，户晨风都调整内容，试探审查的边界。

12:01 (04:01)⇢A Miracle Scripted in Five-Year Ink

⌨Chinese state media have fully transitioned from the year-end ritual of Xi Jinping’s New Year address toward mobilizing for the 15th Five-Year Plan (People's Daily, CCTV, Xinhua). While domestic editors project national 'miracles' and growth, independent and international sources focus on the competitive friction of 2025, specifically the U.S.-China AI race and the suppression of digital dissent (SCMP, Caixin Global, China Digital Times).

19:41 (11:41)⇢The Oracle's Fifteen-Five Blueprint

⌨Chinese state editors have intensified the ritualistic focus on Xi Jinping’s New Year message, framing the start of 2026 as a victory for the 14th Five-Year Plan and a blueprint for the 15th (People's Daily, Xinhua, CCTV, China Daily, Global Times). Simultaneously, a sharp ideological divide persists; external sources highlight hardening regional friction through Lai Ching-te’s response to military drills and the postponement of a major Japanese business delegation (BBC Chinese, DW, SCMP).
