27.02.2026 ⇢ The Fifteenth Plan Drafting Day
⌨
State media outlets maintained a synchronized front, prioritizing the CPC leadership meeting chaired by Xi Jinping to discuss the draft 15th Five-Year Plan and the upcoming government work report. This domestic focus, emphasized by People's Daily, Xinhua, and CCTV, framed the transition from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization as a cornerstone of the "new era." By mid-afternoon, editors transitioned to a retrospective on "Head of State Diplomacy," positioning recent high-level meetings, including the visit by German Chancellor Merz, as evidence of China’s global influence. Simultaneously, external outlets like the South China Morning Post highlighted anxieties within Beijing over "chaotic" preparations for the upcoming summit with President Trump. While state sources projected stability through new cadre appraisal metrics moving beyond GDP, international reports focused on friction points, including OpenAI's allegations of state-sponsored "cyber special operations" and US arrests related to the training of Chinese military pilots.
