China's focus on BRICS cooperation intensified as Xi Jinping prepared to attend the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia. The Chinese media emphasized Xi's role in shaping BRICS' future and promoting Global South cooperation. Economically, China made significant moves by cutting key mortgage rates to stabilize the property market, exceeding market expectations. This was accompanied by foreign banks revising China's GDP forecasts upward. The country also announced plans to implement list-based management for dual-use exports. In geopolitics, China protested a US-Canadian warship transit through the Taiwan Strait and demanded justice from Myanmar for an attack on its consulate. Domestically, Xi's recent visits to Fujian and Anhui provinces were heavily covered, with emphasis on his economic and development strategies.
