18.12.2025 ⢠The Day the Hainan Free Trade Port Sealed its Customs Gates
âšThe editorial landscape on December 18 was dominated by the official launch of island-wide special customs operations at the Hainan Free Trade Port. Following days of anticipatory coverage, state media outlets including Xinhua and People's Daily transitioned from reporting on preparations to declaring a "historic moment" in the early morning hours. A heavy volume of synchronized video content and editorials framed the event as a central pillar of Chinaâs high-standard opening up and a gateway to global markets.
By midday, the narrative shifted toward regional security as Beijing responded to international developments. State-affiliated military channels and Global Times issued sharp condemnations of Japanâs military buildup and a $11 billion US arms sale to Taiwan. Concurrently, South China Morning Post highlighted domestic economic adjustments, reporting an easing in youth unemployment and new regulations on rare earth exports, while VOA focused on President Trumpâs economic addresses and US congressional concerns regarding Sino-Russian cooperation.
