29.04.2026The Day Xi's Disaster Drill Echoed Across State Media

The day began with state media synchronously amplifying Xi Jinping's emphasis on disaster prevention following a Politburo study session, with People's Daily, Xinhua, CCTV, and others carrying identical messages. This pivot from the previous day's economic focus to disaster response as a strategic prerequisite for development dominated morning coverage. By afternoon, the narrative expanded to include China's rebuttal of a US-led Panama Canal statement, accusing Washington of politicizing port issues. External outlets covered King Charles III's US visit, the UAE's Opec withdrawal, and a gene study on human migration. Later, SCMP reported DeepSeek adding AI vision and EU carbon tariffs pressuring Chinese steel, while state media continued to echo the disaster prevention theme.
