20.12.2024 ⇢ Day Macau's Silver Crown Met Youth Drug Shadow
⌨
The morning opened with reports of increasing youth drug use in Hong Kong, with 46% of users starting between ages 12-17, creating a stark contrast to the day's ceremonial focus. State media orchestrated extensive coverage of Xi Jinping's attendance at Macau's 25th handover anniversary celebration and new Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai's inauguration.
By midday, attention shifted to Xi's inspection of PLA garrison in Macau, while parallel stories emerged about Shanghai's financial sector troubles, with bank employees sentenced for loan intermediary bribery and securities regulators investigating Chunhou Fund.
Evening coverage revealed China's new maritime regulations requiring 10% of Chinese imports to use U.S. vessels, while reports surfaced about extensive security measures in Macau during Xi's visit, with citywide screen restrictions resembling martial law conditions. Vietnam's increased military cooperation with PLA emerged as a significant regional development.
