02.11.2026 ⇢ The Day Xi Hosted Oman's Sultan Haitham
⌨
State press opened with the Fifth Plenum discipline resolution, publishing Xi's explanation and full text and reducing it to lifelong cultivation of party spirit and strict management of officials.
Attention then shifted to Xi's Beijing meeting with Oman's Sultan Haitham, with welcome ceremony and signing of cooperation documents on energy, investment and high-tech innovation, presented as lifting the strategic partnership and joint efforts with Arab and Gulf states for Middle East peace.
Midday outlets carried Xi's instruction on Yellow River protection to improve coordination and make the mother river more beautiful. Outside the lockstep, SCMP reported a market rebound and a $15b asset swap after the sell-off, new cadre promotion rules and behind-the-scenes shaping of the plenum discipline document.
