Chinese state media primarily focused on President Xi Jinping's meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin in Beijing. This event dominated coverage from various outlets, including Xinhua News, Global Times, and People's Daily (English), with an emphasis on enhanced cooperation and the synergy of development strategies between China's "15th Five-Year Plan" and Russia's economic plans. This follows earlier extensive reporting on Xi's APEC visit and South Korea engagements.
Concurrently, other reports highlighted China's widening of visa-free access, a move framed as part of its opening-up strategy. Separately, Hong Kong Free Press covered local issues, including fines for illegal structures in luxury homes, while some international outlets reported on potential US-China truce details following principal talks, though this received less prominence in state media.
