State outlets spent a third day on Xi Jinping's New Delhi BRICS visit, moving from full texts of his second-session address to identical retrospectives and close-ups presenting five initiatives for 'greater BRICS' cooperation, Global South unity and a third golden decade. Xinhua commentaries, CCTV micro-observations and People's Daily features repeated the same formulation as Xi returned to Beijing, while SCMP and VOA Chinese assessed the New Delhi Declaration, payment-link de-dollarisation and limits to the India-China thaw.
Outside the choreography, BBC Chinese and DW Chinese led with China's first revision in 16 years to the National Defense Mobilization Law, described as building a peacetime-to-wartime conversion system from Russia-Ukraine lessons, with discussion of implications for Taiwan.
