18.06.2025 ⇢ The coordination winds down as mediation possibilities emerge
⌹The four-day China-Central Asia Summit coordination machine began its systematic shutdown. State outlets delivered synchronized departure coverage at 7:15 AM, followed by coordinated return announcements at 9:15 AM, then final summit takeaway messaging at 3:08 PM. The "China-Central Asia Spirit" messaging reached institutional conclusion after days of unprecedented media synchronization.

The PBOC announced plans for a new operations center to expand yuan global reach, while central bank governor Pan Gongsheng addressed stablecoin regulation for the first time.

Business developments included humanoid robot companies paying triple the national average amid AI talent shortages, and analysis of how Pop Mart's Labubu toys became commercial successes.

07:11 (23:11)⇢Permanent friendship treaty signed

⌹The newspapers report on the formal institutionalization of China-Central Asia cooperation through a permanent treaty and the articulation of a "China-Central Asia Spirit."
