The Day Xi and Trump Discussed Taiwan

On November 24, Chinese state media began the day with continued emphasis on rural revitalization and construction, often linking it to the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" and "Xi Jinping Thought," as seen in outlets like Beijing Daily and CCTV. Early afternoon reports shifted focus to President Xi Jinping's engagement with cultural development, including a micro-documentary series on world cultural heritage. However, the dominant narrative emerged in the mid-afternoon with extensive coverage of a telephone conversation between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump. Chinese state media, including Xinhua and Global Times, highlighted discussions on the Taiwan question and the importance of Sino-US relations, portraying China's principled stance on the matter. This direct engagement between the two leaders became the central editorial priority.
