23.07.2026 ⇢ The Day of Xi's Education Saturation and Taiwan Strait Drills
⌨
State media continued the saturation campaign around Xi Jinping's basic education directive, with coordinated publications across People's Daily, Xinhua, CCTV, and others from early morning through afternoon. The narrative emphasized fostering virtue and high-quality development. External outlets diverged sharply. SCMP reported PLA live-fire drills in the Taiwan Strait off Fujian, while Hong Kong Free Press covered a logistics firm refusing to ship 'prohibited books' to Hong Kong and a student's 'involuntary celibacy' threat case. Secret China ran sensational stories on organ harvesting and anti-Xi protests. Caixin focused on cross-border investment risks and US defense procurement tightening. BBC Chinese noted the shelving of a film on the Battle of Penghu, touching cross-strait sensitivities. The editorial split persisted, with state media maintaining domestic policy optimism while external sources highlighted military tensions, legal controversies, and social unrest.
