Chinese state media heavily emphasized President Xi Jinping's explanation of the 15th Five-Year Plan throughout the day, detailing national economic and social development goals. This built on previous days' coverage of the Fourth Plenary Session and the plan's role in China's modernization and high-quality development. Concurrently, reports highlighted Xi's call to transform the Palace Museum into a "window for Chinese civilization" and the signing of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Protocol. Separately, a police investigation into a "Taiwan independence" secessionist was framed as a move to safeguard national unity, while anti-China sentiment in South Korea was noted ahead of the APEC summit.
