19.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Putin Arrived in Beijing
⌨

The day was dominated by the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing for a state visit, hot on the heels of Donald Trump's departure. State media uniformly led with Putin's arrival and Xi Jinping's call to ensure China-Russia relations continue on the right track, emphasizing the strategic partnership as a stabilizing force. External outlets focused on the proximity of the visits, the personal rapport between Xi and Putin, and China's leverage over Russia's economy. In the morning, state media also promoted Xi's cultural thought guiding tourism and revised Party membership rules. By evening, the narrative was fully centered on Putin's visit, with state outlets highlighting the significance of the high-level meetings. Secret China published unverified claims about a campus attack and Xi purging a security official, but these did not enter mainstream coverage.
