13.08.2026 ⇢ The Day of Zhu Rongji's Death
⌨
The death of former premier Zhu Rongji at 97 dominated the day's editorial priorities. State media published a joint obituary from the Party Central Committee, NPC Standing Committee, State Council, and CPPCC, while international outlets focused on his legacy as the 'chief engineer of economic reform.' Earlier, state media had saturated with Xi Jinping's governance narratives: '老百姓的事情是最重要的事情' (People's affairs are the most important) and '窑洞之问' (Cave Dwelling Question), continuing the pattern of coordinated Xi-centric themes. Other developments included the C919's first international commercial flight to Ulaanbaatar, US and allies demanding 24-hour warning after China's missile test, and Taiwan arresting two mainland Chinese after a boat slipped past defenses.
