20.12.2025The Day of Macao’s Twenty-Sixth Anniversary and the TikTok Divestment
On December 20, Chinese state media editors pivoted from the previous day's focus on Hainan's customs closure toward a synchronized 'Always Learning' campaign. In the morning, CCTV and People’s Daily dominated the digital space with a unified narrative celebrating Macao’s 26th anniversary of return to Chinese rule, framing it through the lens of local developmental success. This state-controlled optimism contrasted with international reports from VOA and HKFP regarding ByteDance’s agreement to sell TikTok’s U.S. business to American investors and the release of an 855-page ruling against Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong.
By early afternoon, editorial priorities shifted toward a rigid ideological front. Outlets like Xinhua and China Economic Net translated the Central Economic Work Conference’s directives into a demand for 'internal strength' and 'overall perspective' to counter external economic challenges. Simultaneously, state-affiliated military and regional sources highlighted vulnerabilities in Taiwan’s defense following a mass stabbing incident in Taipei and ongoing coast guard patrols near Kinmen.

11:16 (03:16)Macao's Quarter-Century Bloom under the Gaze

State-controlled outlets have synchronized around the 'Always Learning' campaign, celebrating Macao's 26th anniversary and local developmental logic (CCTV, Huanqiu, China Daily, People's Daily). This ideological consistency contrasts with international and commercial coverage of Jimmy Lai’s 855-page ruling in Hong Kong and the strategic divestment of TikTok to U.S. investors (HKFP, VOA Chinese). Meanwhile, diverging reports focus on Taiwan's military decentralization and internal security incidents (SCMP, BBC Chinese).

State media editors have transitioned from celebratory Macao coverage to a synchronized ideological campaign framing the 2025 economic trajectory. Outlets are prioritizing the 'Five Musts' from the Central Economic Work Conference, emphasizing internal resilience and consumption (Xinhua, People's Daily, CCTV, China Daily, China Economic Net). Simultaneously, a sharp editorial pivot targets Japanese militarism, contrasting domestic stability with perceived external threats (People's Daily, Global Times, SCMP).
