25.05.2026 ⇢ The Day Xi Bestowed Friendship Medal on Serbian President
⌨
The day was dominated by Xi Jinping's state visit activities with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, including a welcome ceremony, talks, signing of cooperation documents, and the awarding of the Friendship Medal. State media uniformly led with these events, emphasizing the 'ironclad friendship' narrative. In the morning, Xi also met with Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif. External outlets focused on the Shanxi coal mine blast aftermath, with BBC Chinese reporting rising public anger, and on Nvidia's chip sales uncertainty in China (Caixin Global). By afternoon, the Serbian visit remained the top story across all state media, while SCMP covered Hong Kong asset seizures and AI funding fever.
