Chinese state media heavily emphasized President Xi Jinping's economic thought throughout the morning, linking it to economic stability and resilient growth, supported by reports of a CPI pickup, stabilized PPI, and the World Bank raising China's 2025 growth forecast. This narrative culminated in extensive coverage of the Central Economic Work Conference, which set priorities for 2026. Reports in the late morning and early afternoon highlighted Xi's important speech at the conference, focusing on active macro policies and a domestic demand-led strategy. Concurrently, Beijing urged the Dutch government to facilitate a China visit for Nexperia executives, and a diplomatic stalemate persisted between China and Japan, drawing analysis from international outlets on Trump's position.
