10.04.2026The Day the Cross-Strait Handshake Echoed

State media editors shifted from synchronized coverage of Xi Jinping's service sector guidance to coordinated reporting on his meeting with KMT leader Cheng Li-wun in Beijing, with identical reports appearing across People's Daily, Xinhua, Global Times, China Daily, Huanqiu, and affiliated outlets from mid-morning through afternoon. This editorial focus on cross-strait relations continued with Xi's statements about peace and shared Chinese identity, while external Chinese-language outlets emphasized meeting details including a 13-second handshake and interrupted broadcast. By late afternoon, coverage expanded to include Cheng's hope for a potential Xi visit to Taiwan if the KMT wins the 2028 election, with SCMP providing live updates and analysis.
