30.04.2025 ⇢ Xi's Shanghai AI Tour Through 15th Five-Year Planning
⌨

State media saturated coverage of Xi Jinping's Shanghai inspection tour focusing on artificial intelligence development, continuing the AI self-reliance narrative from April 26's Politburo study session. By early morning, synchronized reporting emphasized Xi's visit to a "large-model incubator," declaring AI "a young person's career" while positioning Shanghai as a "global science and technology innovation hub."

By mid-morning, coverage pivoted to Xi chairing a symposium on China's "15th Five-Year Plan" (2026-2030) economic development, signaling forward planning amid trade tensions. Economic vulnerability indicators emerged with Caixin reporting manufacturing PMI dropping to a three-month low and news of a securities regulator vice chairman's unexpected investigation.

International friction persisted with People's Daily publishing the first in a series criticizing "US tariff abuse," Chinese flight bookings to the US declining amid trade tensions, and reports of "sparks flying" at a WTO session over Chinese overcapacity and tariffs.

07:55⇢Xi Spotlights Shanghai AI Ambitions

⌨The newspapers extensively report on President Xi Jinping's visit to Shanghai, emphasizing his focus on artificial intelligence development (Beijing Daily, China Daily, Global Times, Guangming Daily, People's Daily, Xinhua).

In contrast, international news reports on the release of four pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong after serving sentences in the "47 people case" under the national security law, noting they are permanently banned from political participation (BBC Chinese). Military tensions appear with reports of China's Shandong aircraft carrier making a rare show of force amid US-Philippine drills (SCMP).
