20.07.2025 ⇢ Banyan Tree City Metaphor Unfurled
⌹The editorial focus across Chinese state media on July 20 sustained the prolonged emphasis on President Xi Jinping's urban development directives, evolving its descriptive language throughout the day. Initially, reports highlighted his leadership in "urban work" and the concept of "the people's city in the General Secretary's heart." By afternoon, a new, prominent metaphor emerged: "a big banyan tree" to symbolize Xi's urban philosophy, featured extensively across official outlets. This deepening narrative followed days of consistent reporting on "modernized people's cities." Concurrently, state media maintained coverage on economic resilience, including supply chain stability and the unified national market. Independent sources, however, consistently drew attention to a controversial water issue in Hangzhou and tax probes impacting Hong Kong's independent publishers, alongside other international reports.
