Chinese state media on August 15 consistently prioritized President Xi Jinping's "Two Mountains" concept, marking its 20th anniversary as a cornerstone of ecological civilization and sustainable modernization, continuing a multi-day focus. Concurrently, a significant editorial emphasis emerged on the 80th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender, with state media featuring Xi's reflections on this historical event and reiterating China's stance on wartime history. This new focus appeared in parallel with the ongoing "Two Mountains" narrative. By mid-morning, reports also highlighted Xi's article in Qiushi magazine, promoting healthy private economic development. Other reports covered ongoing tensions in the South China Sea following a vessel collision and international discussions on the anticipated Trump-Putin summit.
