Chinese state media on November 14 extensively covered President Xi Jinping's welcome ceremony and subsequent meeting with Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn, emphasizing the advancement of a shared future. This diplomatic engagement dominated state-controlled narratives throughout the day, reinforcing the focus on international relations seen in previous days' reports on sinologist ties and the Spanish King. Concurrently, China strongly rebuked Japan over remarks concerning China, particularly Taiwan, summoning the Japanese ambassador and issuing serious démarches. This diplomatic friction escalated throughout the day, amplified by reports of PLA warships sailing past Japan. Separately, Chinese astronauts returned from a space station mission, and independent outlets reported on Trump's first arms sale to Taiwan, drawing strong disapproval from Beijing.
