28.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of the 2025 Retrospective Path
⌨On December 28, Chinese state media transitioned from the previous days' focus on internal discipline to a highly coordinated retrospective of Xi Jinping’s 2025 activities. Throughout the morning, Xinhua and CCTV launched the "Footprints" and "Pilot China" campaigns, framing the leader's 2025 travels and diplomatic efforts as the primary engine for "national unity" and "Chinese-style modernization." This top-down narrative effectively synchronized domestic outlets to project an image of stability and continuity as the year concludes.
By early afternoon, the editorial focus bifurcated. Domestic state media shifted toward legislative preparation, announcing the March 2026 dates for the National People's Congress and emphasizing the removal of market barriers to combat economic "bottlenecks." Simultaneously, external-facing outlets like SCMP and Global Times highlighted escalating frictions, reporting on new anti-corruption purges within the military and intensifying disputes with the Philippines and Japan over maritime and historical grievances.

⌨State media editors have transitioned from abstract discipline to a pragmatic mandate, framing 'realism' and 'practicality' as essential qualities for the 2026 political cycle (CCTV, Beijing Daily, China Daily, Huanqiu).

External sources highlight market pressures on the domestic electric vehicle sector and the ideological reach of Chinese media exports (SCMP, DW).

15:06 (07:06)⇢The Unity Catalyst for Modernization
⌨State media editors have pivoted from internal party discipline to a dual-pronged campaign of ideological cohesion and historical critique. Domestic outlets emphasize national unity as the catalyst for Chinese-style modernization (Beijing Daily, Huanqiu, China Daily), while intensifying a narrative of Japanese 'militaristic' irresponsibility and failure to provide justice for wartime victims (People's Daily, SCMP). Concurrently, a coordinated retrospective highlights Xi's diplomatic efforts in fostering international friendships (Xinhua, China Economic Net).
