The Day Xi Jinping Advocated for New Productive Forces

Chinese state media on November 15 began by reiterating President Xi Jinping's emphasis on strong ties with Thailand and the role of sinologists in fostering global understanding, extending narratives from previous days. By early morning, the focus shifted to cultural exchange as a bridge for international relations. This transitioned by mid-morning to extensive coverage of Xi's article in "Qiushi" magazine, which highlighted the development of new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions. This directive became the dominant narrative, signaling a strategic economic policy focus. Independent outlets reported on the US-China chip war, Hong Kong's election promotions, China's property slump, and allegations against Alibaba concerning aid to the Chinese military.
