State media editors maintained synchronized reporting on Xi Jinping's diplomatic engagements throughout the day, shifting from coordinated coverage of his meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez in the morning to identical headlines about his meeting with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and his four-point proposal for Middle East peace by midday. This editorial focus continued into the afternoon with repeated coverage of the proposal and Xi's call for China and Spain to oppose the "law of the jungle." Meanwhile, external Chinese-language outlets focused on US-Iran tensions, reporting Trump's maritime blockade of Iranian ports and ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, while also covering Hong Kong suspending basketball betting legalization and the Evergrande founder's guilty plea.
