02.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Xi's Basic Research Blueprint Dominated State Media
⌨

State media uniformly led with Xi Jinping's strategic deployment on strengthening basic research, covered by People's Daily, Xinhua, CCTV, and others throughout the day. This narrative, building on his April 30 symposium, was framed as a blueprint for technological self-reliance. By midday, the focus expanded to include Xi's Labor Day messages emphasizing workers' welfare and the 'spirit of model workers.' External outlets diverged: SCMP reported Trump insisting his China trip will proceed, Taiwan's opposition leader planning a US trip, and the Pentagon ordering 5,000 troops withdrawn from Germany. Global Times covered Lai Ching-te's 'sneaking' to Eswatini via private jet, which Beijing condemned as a 'laughable stunt.' Secret China published a sensational piece alleging treason by senior leaders, a rare dissident voice.
