01.05.2025 ⇢ Labor Day Through Fifteen-Five Planning
⌨State media continued amplifying Xi Jinping's dual-focus on labor celebration and economic planning. The morning brought synchronized propaganda featuring the slogan "embrace the new era with creativity, forge new glory with hard work" across multiple outlets, coinciding with Labor Day festivities and the 100th anniversary of China's trade union federation.

Xi's symposium on the "15th Five-Year Plan" (2026-2030) dominated coverage, serving as a continuation of his Shanghai inspection tour. By afternoon, state media released a micro-documentary about Xi's Shanghai visit explicitly linking it to this planning period.

Trade tensions intensified with Chinese exporters telling BBC they'll seek markets beyond America, declaring "we don't care." People's Daily published a three-part critique of "US abuse of tariffs," while SCMP reported Chinese cargo shipments slumping as tariffs begin to bite. The viral popularity of Rongchang's braised goose became an unexpected May Day phenomenon, with train tickets to the Chongqing district selling out.
