21.01.2026 ⇢ The Day of the Fifteenth Plan's First Lesson
⌨On January 21, 2026, Chinese state media synchronized their reporting around the 'First Lesson' of the 15th Five-Year Plan. Throughout the morning, outlets including Xinhua, CCTV, and People’s Daily elevated Xi Jinping’s address to provincial and ministerial leaders into a monolithic ideological directive, framing the 2026–2030 cycle through the lens of industrial modernization and the 20th Central Committee’s Fourth Plenary Session. This internal consolidation was paired with a secondary editorial offensive against the U.S.-Taiwan trade deal, which mainland and military sources characterized as a betrayal of the island’s tech interests.
By early afternoon, the narrative expanded to the World Economic Forum in Davos. While state-run media contrasted 'Xiconomics' and Chinese multilateralism against the volatility of President Trump’s 'America First' return and his proposed 'Board of Peace' to replace the UN, regional outlets like SCMP tracked specific economic pressures, including tax fines against PDD and the expansion of China's trade gap with Africa.

⌨Chinese state media have unified around a central ideological campaign, as editors synchronize coverage of Xi Jinping’s address to provincial and ministerial officials. The focus remains strictly on the 15th Five-Year Plan's launch and the internal study of the 20th Central Committee's Fourth Plenary Session spirit (People's Daily, CCTV, Xinhua, China Daily, Beijing Daily). While state organs emphasize domestic stability and planning, SCMP and VOA highlight military expansion and external pressure from the incoming US administration.
